Patch Cable ACT Pink 15m U/UTP CAT6 Snagless RJ45

The ACT Pink 15m U/UTP CAT6 Snagless RJ45 patch cable is a 15 metre unshielded twisted pair cable designed for structured copper networks. Fitted with RJ45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts and a snagless boot, this Cat6 cable supports high-speed data transfer and is built with full copper conductors that meet ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements. The pink jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cable runs while the cable complies with CPR Euroclass Eca for basic reaction-to-fire characteristics.

Advantages

This patch cable uses full copper conductors to ensure low resistance and reliable signal transmission, making it suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. The snagless design protects the connector clip during installation and removal. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable connectivity. Compliance with ANSI/TIA standards and CPR Euroclass classification supports predictable network performance and adherence to installation regulations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices such as switches, routers, and patch panels within LAN environments
• Data centres, server rooms, and office cabling where Cat6 performance is required
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices including access points and IP cameras
• Color-coded cable management or visible cable runs where pink helps identification

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP (unshielded) Cat6 cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable (STP/FTP) would be required to reduce noise. It may also be unnecessary for simple home setups that do not require Cat6 performance; Cat5e could be sufficient in those cases.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), Cat6
• Conductors: full copper
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Connector feature: snagless boot
• Colour: Pink
• Standards: ANSI/TIA568-C2-1 performance compliant
• Reaction to fire classification: CPR Euroclass Eca

How to use

Route the ACT Pink 15m Cat6 patch cable between network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted into RJ45 ports until the clip engages. Use the snagless boot to protect the clip during installation and when pulling the cable through cable management trays or conduits. For PoE devices, verify that both the powered device and the switch support the required PoE standard and that cable length and installation do not exceed the power budget or temperature limits specified by the equipment manufacturer.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and routing path (15 m total length)
• Whether unshielded (U/UTP) Cat6 meets environmental and EMI requirements for your site
• Need for PoE compatibility—full copper conductors are included
• Colour preference for cable management and visual identification

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks, maintain separation from mains power cables where possible, and use proper cable management to reduce strain on RJ45 connectors. Test links after installation with appropriate network testers to confirm Cat6 performance.
