ACT Black 15 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Black 15 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a 15 m network patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It uses F/UTP (foil screened twisted pair) construction with AWG#26 conductors and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath; the cable is black and terminated with gold-plated RJ45 connectors to maintain reliable contact and signal transfer across a 100 MHz bandwidth.

Advantages

The cable provides shielding (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference, supports CAT5E performance up to 100 MHz for typical Ethernet applications, and uses gold-plated RJ45 plugs to improve connector durability and reduce contact resistance. The LSZH sheath minimises smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the 15 m length allows flexible placement of networked devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in offices and data closets
• Wiring desktop PCs, VoIP phones and network printers
• Short to medium-length Ethernet links where CAT5E performance is sufficient

How to use

Inspect both ends for intact RJ45 plugs and ensure the connectors fully seat into device ports until a click is felt. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For wall or rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the sheath. Test the connection with a network tester or by verifying link lights and data transfer between devices.

Recommendations

Use this ACT 15 m F/UTP CAT5E patch cable for standard Ethernet connections up to 100 MHz. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for extended distances and replace the cable if the sheath or connectors are damaged.
