UTP Patch Cord Cat.6a VALUE 7 m grey

The VALUE UTP Patch Cord Cat.6a 7 m grey is a network patch cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. Constructed with U/UTP shielding and Category 6a performance, this 7‑metre cable provides stable connectivity between switches, patch panels, routers and end devices while maintaining signal integrity over moderate run lengths. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for office, server room or residential installations.

Advantages

This Cat.6a patch cord delivers category-compliant performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical patching distances and reduces crosstalk and external interference thanks to its U/UTP design. The 7 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing the need for intermediate couplers. A durable outer jacket and precision-terminated RJ45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and long-term mechanical reliability in standard networking environments.

Suitable for

• Short to medium length connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet LANs
• Office, data centre patching and structured cabling systems
• Home networking where higher category performance is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat.6a (enhanced performance for crosstalk and return loss)
• Conductor structure: twisted pair U/UTP
• Length: 7 m
• Color: grey
• Connector: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Applications: supports up to 10 Gbps over suitable channel configurations
• Typical use environment: office, data centre, residential network racks

How to use

Connect one RJ45-terminated end to the network port of a switch, patch panel or router and the other end to the target device such as a computer, access point or server. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of electromagnetic interference. For best performance, use within a structured cabling channel that meets Cat.6a installation standards and avoid exceeding the maximum recommended channel length when integrated into longer links.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connectors and cable jacket before installation. Maintain bend radius recommended by cabling standards, avoid over-tensioning during routing, and use appropriate cable management to preserve performance. When deploying in high-density or high-interference areas, verify channel performance with appropriate testing equipment to ensure Cat.6a compliance.
