Network Cable AKTBXKS6AUP100G RJ45 Cat.6A 1m Grey

The AKTBXKS6AUP100G RJ45 Cat.6A 1m Grey network cable is a 1-metre UTP patch cord designed for stable, high-speed Ethernet connections. With Cat.6A performance and standard RJ45 terminations, this grey cable supports demanding network environments where reduced interference and reliable data transfer are important. It is intended for connecting devices such as computers, switches, routers and patch panels in typical home and office networks.

Advantages

This Cat.6A UTP cable provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category patch cords, enabling higher throughput for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links at short to moderate distances. The standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with common networking equipment, while the 1-metre length offers a compact solution for tidy cable runs and patch panel connections. The neutral grey jacket helps the cable blend into office and residential environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and networked printers to switches or wall sockets
• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch connections in rack or cabinet setups (short runs)
• Home network setups requiring reliable wired internet for streaming and gaming
• Office workstations where a short, fixed-length Ethernet connection is needed

When it may not be suitable

This 1-metre UTP Cat.6A cable is not intended for long-distance runs between buildings or across large data-centre aisles where longer cables or permanent structured cabling are required. Because it is an unshielded (UTP) cable, it may be less suitable in environments with high electromagnetic interference compared with shielded cable options.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A (augmented Category 6)
• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Grey
• Supported speeds: Gigabit Ethernet and suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at short to moderate distances

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding LAN ports on your devices or patch panel until a click is felt. Ensure both ends are seated correctly and check link/activity LEDs on network equipment to confirm connectivity. Use the 1-metre length to minimize excess cable in racks or desktop setups; avoid sharp bends and tension on the cable to preserve signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length for your setup—1 metre is suitable for short connections only
• Whether unshielded (UTP) cable is appropriate for your environment or if shielded cable is needed
• Compatibility with your network speed requirements (Gigabit/10G over short distances)
• Physical routing space and connector access in racks or wall outlets

Usage recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable away from power lines and large electrical equipment, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable diameter, and secure connections at both ends. Test link speed after installation to confirm the cable meets expected throughput for your network devices.
