Patch Cable ACT Yellow 1.5m U/UTP CAT6A Snagless RJ45

The ACT Yellow 1.5m U/UTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a short, flexible Ethernet connection cable designed for reliable network linking. At 1.5 meters length and finished in a bright yellow PVC sheath (RAL 1023), it provides easy identification in dense cabling environments. The cable uses U/UTP construction with 24 AWG conductors and CAT6A performance characteristics for high-speed data transmission and reduced interference, while 50 µ gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs support consistent signal transfer.

Advantages

This ACT CAT6A patch cable combines compact length and CAT6A shielding performance in a U/UTP design to deliver stable data rates for short-run connections. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and removal, extending connector life and simplifying handling. The bright yellow color improves visual management and helps distinguish runs in racks or patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within racks and cabinets
• Desktop connections between PCs and wall sockets or network ports
• Short-run links in data centers, server rooms and office environments
• Environments where cable identification and color-coding are useful

When it may not be suitable

This 1.5 m cable is intended for short connections; it is not suited for long-distance runs where a longer cable or structured cabling with intermediate patch points is required. As a U/UTP (unshielded) cable, it may not provide the same level of electromagnetic interference rejection as shielded variants in electrically noisy environments.

Key specifications

• Length: 1.5 m
• Cable category: CAT6A
• Conductor size: AWG 24
• Configuration: U/UTP (unshielded with overall drain/none)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless style
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Sheath material: PVC
• Colour: Yellow (RAL 1023)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or wall outlet and insert the other connector into the device to be connected. Ensure the connector latch clicks into place to secure the connection. For neat cabling, route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tightly bundling with power cables to reduce potential interference. The snagless boot helps prevent accidental latch damage during repeated insertions and removals.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your specific installation (1.5 m is for short links)
• Whether an unshielded (UTP) cable is sufficient for your environment or a shielded alternative is needed
• Colour-coding needs for identification in your network setup
• Compatibility of device ports with RJ45 connectors and CAT6A performance

Usage recommendations

Use this ACT CAT6A 1.5 m patch cable for short, high-performance connections where clear visual identification is helpful. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources and avoid excessive bending to maintain signal integrity and prolong connector life.
