The Patch cable AKTBXKS6U100B10 RJ45 Cat.6 1m black is a UTP network cable designed for short-range wired connections in home and office environments. With Cat.6 performance and RJ45 connectors, this 1 metre cable provides a straightforward solution for connecting computers, routers, switches and other Ethernet-enabled devices where reliable gigabit-capable links are required.
Advantages
This Cat.6 patch cable offers reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables, supporting higher data transfer rates and more stable connections. The cable’s compact 1 m length helps reduce cable clutter and keeps workspaces tidy while RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard networking ports. The black outer jacket provides a neutral, unobtrusive appearance suitable for both visible and concealed installations.
Suitable for
- Connecting a computer or laptop to a router or switch
- Linking office network equipment in patch panels and wall outlets
- Temporary or permanent connections for printers, IP cameras, and NAS devices
- Home networking where short, tidy cable runs are preferred
When it may not be suitable
This 1 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance runs; for connections between different rooms or floors, longer cables or structured cabling solutions are more appropriate. It is an unshielded (UTP) cable, so in environments with significant electromagnetic interference or where shielded cabling is specified, a shielded alternative may be required.
Key specifications
- Cable category: Cat.6 (performance for gigabit Ethernet)
- Length: 1 metre
- Conductor type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
- Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
- Colour: Black
- Intended use: Ethernet/network patching for short runs
How to use
Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Test the link status on connected devices to confirm network negotiation and speed.
What to consider before purchase
- Required cable length for your setup — 1 m is suitable for short connections
- Whether unshielded (UTP) cable is acceptable for your environment
- Compatibility with your network equipment's supported Ethernet speeds
- Colour preference and visibility in the installation area
Usage recommendations
Use this Cat.6 RJ45 patch cable for short, indoor Ethernet links where clutter reduction and standard gigabit performance are needed. For runs longer than a few metres or in electrically noisy environments, choose longer cables or shielded options accordingly.
