ACT patch cords feature solid copper conductors and meet ANSI / TIA568-C2-1 performance requirements. The combination of a well-structured copper data network, reliable active devices and copper patch cords ensures a trouble-free operating network that remains stable over a long period of time. By using materials that meet international standards, your active network devices can deliver optimal performance without failures. For PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications, it is important to use patch cords with full copper conductors. All ACT patch cables have full copper conductors.
