ACT Black 0.5 meter LSZH F/UTP CAT5E patch cable cross with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 0.5m LSZH F/UTP CAT5E Cross RJ45 patch cable is a short network cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Its F/UTP construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference, and the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket minimizes hazardous fumes in case of fire. The cable is black and 0.5 meters long, suitable for tidy, short-distance patching in racks, patch panels, and between nearby devices.

Advantages

The cable uses 50 µin gold-plated contacts for stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, and AWG#26 conductors for appropriate performance at CAT5E speeds. The FTP (foil screened twisted pair) design improves EMI protection compared with unshielded alternatives, while the LSZH sheath reduces smoke and toxic gas emissions. RJ-45 connectors on both ends simplify installation for standard network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets
• Short links between routers, computers and networked devices
• Office and server-room patching where low-smoke materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: F/UTP (FTP) CAT5E
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: 50 µin gold-plated
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring the clip locks into place. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; use cable management in racks or on desks to prevent stress on the connectors. No special tools or termination are required for ready-made patch cables.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running this F/UTP cable parallel to power lines over long distances and keep the cable within its specified bend radius. Use in environments that require LSZH materials, such as enclosed or public spaces, to reduce smoke and halogen exposure in case of fire.
