ACT Black 1.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 1.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides a 1.5 m connection with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its F/UTP construction and LSZH sheath reduce electromagnetic interference and limit hazardous smoke in case of fire, while the black finish suits office and home installations. Contacts are plated with 50 µin gold and the conductors are AWG 26 for consistent signal transfer.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP design improves resistance to external interference compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated 50 µin contacts ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance. The LSZH sheath minimizes toxic fumes and smoke, making it appropriate for indoor use in public and commercial spaces. A 1.5 m length offers a compact solution for connecting nearby devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers or switches
• Office and home network patching
• Desktop workstation cabling
• Short-range data and internet connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plated
• Sheath: LSZH
• Colour: Black (Pantone Black C)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect (for example, computer to router or switch). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension that could damage the conductors or connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than the cable diameter. Use in indoor environments; the LSZH sheath is suitable where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required.
