High-Visibility Cable Management

This cable features a bright orange jacket. This colour aids rapid identification in server racks. It reduces the risk of accidental disconnections. The outer jacket is made from Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This material provides basic protection against daily wear. However, the input does not specify UV resistance for outdoor use. You should verify suitability for external installations.

Secure Connections with Gold Contacts

The connectors feature gold-plated contacts. This plating helps resist corrosion over time. It ensures a stable electrical connection. Both connectors are RJ-45 male to male. The cable uses a snagless and molded boot design. This protects the clip from breaking during installation. It is useful for frequent patching in busy networks.

Reliable Performance for 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

The cable uses U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) technology. This is standard for most office and home networks. It supports speeds up to 1000 Mbps. The 24 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility. This makes the cable easy to route around corners. However, solid core cable is better for long permanent runs. Verify if stranded conductors suit your specific installation type.

Practical Length for Local Connections

At 3 metres, this cable is ideal for local links. It works well between a patch panel and a switch. It also suits a direct PC-to-wall connection. The length prevents excessive cable clutter. However, longer runs may require a different specification. Always measure your distance before ordering. This ensures you get the correct reach for your setup.
