ACT CAT6 U/UTP Patch Cable Stranded Green 100m (EP870H)

Running Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances can be a challenge when using solid-core cable that is prone to breakage during frequent moves. This ACT CAT6 U/UTP bulk patch cable solves that by combining stranded copper conductors with a flexible PVC jacket, making it ideal for custom-length patch leads in offices and data centres.

Who is it for

Network installers and IT technicians who need to create reliable, custom-length patch cables for high-speed LAN connections. Suitable for both professional and home networking projects.

Tips

Use stranded cable for patch leads that will be moved or flexed; solid-core is better for permanent horizontal runs. Always terminate with CAT6-rated RJ45 connectors to maintain performance.
