Patchcord TB Print Category 6A RJ45 UTP 2 m black

The TB Print Category 6A RJ45 UTP patchcord is a 2 meter, black network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Meeting Category 6A performance requirements, this UTP patch cable supports up to 10GBASE-T over short runs and provides a flexible, reliable link between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations in LAN environments.

Advantages

This Category 6A UTP patchcord offers consistent signal transmission and reduced crosstalk for reliable network performance at higher data rates. The 2 m length provides a balance between flexibility and neat cable management in racks and desktop setups. Standard RJ45 terminated connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet equipment and structured cabling components.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data closets and server rooms
• Linking desktop workstations to wall outlets or patch panels
• Short horizontal runs where 10GBASE-T performance is required
• Structured cabling upgrades from Cat5e/Cat6 to Cat6A environments

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be necessary. For long-distance backbone runs exceeding the specification limits for copper cabling, fiber optic solutions are recommended instead.

Key specifications

• Category: 6A
• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 2 m
• Color: black
• Supported standard: up to 10GBASE-T over short copper runs

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered off or able to tolerate hot-plugging, then insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize exposure to sources of interference. For structured installations, use cable management panels or ties to maintain proper bend radius and a tidy layout.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm required cable length and port accessibility for your setup
• Assess whether unshielded cabling is suitable for the installation environment
• Verify that connected equipment supports the desired data rate (e.g., 10GBASE-T)

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive stretching, keep the patchcord away from power cables and large sources of electromagnetic interference, and use it for short horizontal or patch-panel connections where Cat6A performance is required.
