ACT CAT6 U/UTP stranded patch cable red 100 m

ACT CAT6 U/UTP stranded patch cable in red, 100 m, is a flexible network cable designed for Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps. The cable uses AWG24 conductors and standard CAT6 color-coded pairs (Blue/White Blue, Orange/White Orange, Green/White Green, Brown/White Brown) to ensure reliable signal transmission and easy identification during installation and cable management.

Advantages

The stranded conductor construction provides greater flexibility compared with solid cores, simplifying routing in patch panels, wall outlets and short runs. U/UTP (unshielded) design is suitable for typical office and home environments where additional shielding is not required. The red jacket improves visibility for organization and fault tracing, while the 100 m spool length reduces the need for multiple shorter cables.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch-to-workstation connections
• Office and home network installations
• Temporary or movable network setups requiring flexible cabling

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6 U/UTP
• Conductor: Stranded, AWG24
• Length: 100 m
• Performance: Supports up to 1 Gbps
• Color: Red
• Pair colors: Blue/White Blue, Orange/White Orange, Green/White Green, Brown/White Brown

How to use

Measure the required run and cut the cable from the spool as needed. Terminate the cable with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-assembled patch leads. Ensure proper pair alignment and follow standard termination practices for CAT6 U/UTP cables to maintain performance. Avoid excessive bending and keep the cable away from high-interference sources where possible.

Recommendations

Use this ACT CAT6 U/UTP stranded patch cable for short to medium-length patching and workstation connections; for permanent long in-wall installations consider using solid-core cabling that is rated for such applications.
