Patch Cord VALUE UTP Cat.6a grey 20 m

The VALUE UTP Patch Cord Cat.6a grey 20 m is a 20-metre unshielded twisted pair network cable designed to support high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed for reliable data transmission with minimized crosstalk and interference, this patch cord is suitable for structured cabling in homes, offices and server rooms. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance while the cable’s flexibility simplifies routing and installation in patch panels, wall outlets and network devices.

Advantages

The Cat.6a construction ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical installation distances and improved alien crosstalk performance compared with lower categories. Flexible jacket material and solid connector termination offer straightforward handling and secure connections. The cable’s consistent impedance and pair twist design help maintain signal integrity for data, voice and video applications. The neutral grey color facilitates discreet installation in mixed environments.

How to use

Plan cable runs to avoid proximity to strong electrical sources and high-voltage mains to reduce interference. Uncoil the VALUE Cat.6a patch cord carefully to prevent kinks, and connect RJ45 plugs to the corresponding ports on switches, routers or patch panels until a secure latch is heard. Ensure connectors are fully seated and verify link status with network LEDs or a cable tester. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management tools such as cable ties and patch panels to maintain bend radius and avoid strain on connections.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat.6a patch cord for horizontal and patching connections within the same building. Maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and avoid stapling or sharp kinks. For highest performance in dense or noisy environments consider appropriate cable routing and separation from electrical cabling.
