Patch Cable ACT Grey 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 IB9003

The ACT Grey 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a high-quality networking solution designed for reliable data transmission in home and office environments. Featuring standard RJ45 connectors on both ends, this cable ensures seamless connectivity between routers, switches, computers, and other network-enabled devices. The use of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material in the cable sheath enhances safety by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it an ideal choice for indoor installations where safety standards are a priority.

Advantages

This CAT6 patch cable offers superior performance by supporting high-speed data transfer rates, which are essential for modern network applications. The U/UTP construction effectively minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring a stable and consistent connection. With 50µ gold-plated contacts, the connectors provide excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion, prolonging the lifespan of the cable. The 3-meter length provides sufficient flexibility for connecting devices located in close proximity, while the neutral grey color ensures a professional and unobtrusive appearance in any workspace.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network wall outlets
• Linking routers and switches in small office networks
• Home entertainment setups requiring stable internet connectivity
• Indoor environments where fire safety regulations require LSZH cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor use, as the jacket material is not resistant to UV radiation or extreme weather conditions. Additionally, it is not suitable for high-interference industrial environments where shielded (FTP or STP) cables are required to prevent signal degradation from heavy machinery.

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT6
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Conductor gauge: AWG 24
• Sheath material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Color: Grey (Pantone Cool Grey 8C)

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is secure. Repeat this process for the second device. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or crushed under furniture, as this can damage the internal conductors and affect signal quality. When disconnecting, always press the plastic locking tab down before pulling the connector out of the port to avoid damaging the socket.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length to ensure it reaches your devices comfortably without excessive slack.
• Confirm that your network equipment supports CAT6 standards for optimal performance.
• Check if your local building codes mandate the use of LSZH cables for your specific installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance, avoid running network cables parallel to power lines for long distances to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Keep the cable organized using cable ties or management trays to maintain a clean and safe workspace.
