Cable Patchcord AKTBXKS6AUP100B RJ45 Cat.6A 1m Black

The Cable Patchcord AKTBXKS6AUP100B RJ45 Cat.6A 1m Black is a 1-metre network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to support 10 Gbps data rates, this Cat6A UTP cable offers reliable signal transmission for wired networks in home, office, and small data centre environments. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance while the construction aims to reduce crosstalk and interference for stable connectivity.

Advantages

This Cat.6A RJ45 patchcord provides high bandwidth and reduced interference characteristics suitable for demanding network traffic. Its 1 m length balances reach and cable management, and the durable jacket helps protect internal conductors from wear. Backward compatibility with previous Ethernet categories ensures interoperability with existing equipment.

Suitable for

• 10/5/2.5/1 Gbps Ethernet links between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting desktop computers, servers and network appliances in offices
• Patching between wall outlets and network devices in structured cabling
• Short runs in home networks, media centres and small server racks

When it may not be suitable

Because this is a fixed-length 1 metre patchcord, it may not be suitable for installations that require longer cable runs or flexible routing across larger spaces. It is a UTP-type cable intended for shielded environments where minimal external EMI is present; in high-interference industrial settings a shielded cable with additional grounding might be preferable.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Cable type: U/FTP (unshielded twisted pair with paired shielding structure)
• Maximum supported speed: up to 10 Gbps
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet patching and short network links

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards until the latch clicks. Use the cable to establish a direct Ethernet link for data transfer, ensuring both ends are fully seated and ports are active. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and unnecessary tension; for neat installations, secure the cable with tie wraps or cable organizers without compressing the jacket excessively.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 1 metre is the appropriate length for your intended connection points.
• Check whether a shielded cable is required for environments with strong electromagnetic interference.
• Ensure connected equipment supports Cat.6A or lower categories for compatibility.
• Consider colour and cable management needs to match existing infrastructure.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the patchcord parallel to power cables and keep the cable away from sources of strong EMI. Test links after installation using network diagnostic tools to verify throughput and link integrity, and replace if connectors show signs of wear or intermittent connectivity.
