TB Print Patchcord Cat.6A UTP RJ45 network cable, 1 m, gray

TB Print Patchcord Cat.6A UTP RJ45 network cable, 1 m, gray is a stranded networking cable designed to meet Category 6A performance for high-speed LANs. The cable features RJ45 connectors on both ends and an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs such as patch panels, switches and wall outlets. At 1 meter length and neutral gray jacket, it is intended for tidy connections in office racks, server rooms and home network patching.

Advantages

This Cat.6A patchcord offers transmission characteristics appropriate for 10 Gbps Ethernet where short patch connections are required. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility for routing in racks and conduit, while RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with common network equipment. The unshielded design simplifies installation in environments without elevated electromagnetic interference, and the compact 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter in patching areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in server rooms and wiring closets
• Linking desktop devices to wall sockets in offices
• Short interconnects between network equipment inside racks
• Home network patching where 10 Gigabit-capable runs are required over short distances

When it may not be suitable

The unshielded UTP construction is not intended for installations with strong electromagnetic interference or where shielded cabling is specified by site standards; in those cases a shielded cable type should be used. Also, the 1 m length is designed for short patching and will not be suitable where longer permanent horizontal or backbone runs are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6A performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Construction: stranded conductors, UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 1 meter
• Jacket colour: gray

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, patch panel or wall socket and the other into the device or corresponding port. Ensure connectors click fully into place and that cable bend radius is not exceeded near equipment to maintain signal integrity. Use cable management such as Velcro ties or patch panels to keep the 1 m patchcord neat and avoid strain on connectors during regular maintenance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that unshielded cabling is acceptable for your site and that Cat.6A performance meets your network speed requirements
• Confirm that a 1 m length is appropriate for the intended patching location to avoid excess tension or slack
• Check connector compatibility with your equipment ports and any angled or space-restricted panels

Usage recommendations

Use this TB Print Cat.6A UTP 1 m patchcord for short, high-speed interconnects in structured cabling systems. For installations with potential interference or where permanent longer runs are needed, consider shielded cables or appropriate length alternatives.
