Network patch cable Alantec Cat6a U/UTP Yellow 1 m RJ-45–RJ-45

Alantec Cat6a U/UTP Yellow 1 m patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends is a 1 metre unshielded twisted pair cable designed for structured cabling and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The cable is intended for short patch connections between network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints in offices, server rooms, data closets and home networks. Its yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in cable bundles and distribution points.

Advantages

This Cat6a U/UTP cable supports high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbps for short distances consistent with Cat6a performance parameters while remaining unshielded to simplify installation and grounding requirements. The 1 m length reduces clutter and signal degradation in patching scenarios, and the RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network ports. The bright yellow colour aids cable management and rapid identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in rack and cabinet environments
• Connecting end devices (computers, VoIP phones, access points) to wall outlets or switches
• Short horizontal or equipment-level connections in offices and data closets
• Home networks where visible cable identification simplifies layout and maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (enhanced performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Yellow
• Application: Patch cable for LAN connections and distribution points

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the connector latch clicks. Use the 1 m length for short-distance patching to minimize excess cabling inside racks or at workstations. Route the cable through cable management channels or tie points to keep the installation tidy and to avoid stress on the connectors. As an unshielded cable, avoid running it in close parallel with heavy power cabling to reduce possible electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use this Cat6a patch cable for connections within the recommended patching distances and maintain proper cable routing away from sources of electromagnetic interference. Label both ends if used in dense patch panels and periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage to ensure consistent network performance.
