ACT Black 1 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT U/UTP CAT5E patch cable in black (IB5901) is a 1 meter network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections over short distances. It features gold-plated RJ-45 contacts and full copper AWG#24 conductors, meeting ACT specifications and suitable for typical CAT5E network setups where 100 MHz bandwidth is required.

Advantages

ACT specifications are verified by an independent third-party certification institute. The cable uses full copper AWG#24 conductors and 50 µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for consistent conductivity. Each cable is 100% tested and covered by a 5 year warranty, providing documented quality and traceability.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within a rack or on a desk
• Local Ethernet links where 1 meter length is sufficient
• Office and home network patching requiring CAT5E performance (up to 100 MHz)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the 1 m cable to avoid tight bends and avoid placing it near sources of strong electrical interference for optimal signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this CAT5E patch cable for short links (up to 1 m) inside racks, between desktop devices, or for patching in telecom cabinets. Avoid excessive bending beyond the manufacturer's recommended bend radius and do not expose the cable to temperatures or chemicals that could degrade the PVC sheath.
