ACT Black 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB7902) is a 2 m network patch lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for reliable Ethernet connections. It uses FTP shielding for improved noise resistance, AWG#26 conductors and LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) sheath, with 50 µ gold-plated contacts. The black cable suits both home and office setups where a standard CAT5E link is required.

Advantages

The F/UTP CAT5E construction provides enhanced protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, while RJ-45 connectors with 50 µ gold contacts ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance. The LSZH sheath reduces harmful emissions in case of fire, and the 2 m length offers flexible placement between devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small racks
• Home and office Ethernet wiring where CAT5E performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: 50 µ gold
• Conductors: AWG#26
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Black (Pantone Black C)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices (computer, switch, router or patch panel) until the connector latches. Ensure network interfaces are configured correctly and that cable runs avoid sharp bends or heavy compression to maintain signal integrity. For structured cabling, route the cable along designated pathways or cable management accessories.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. Use this CAT5E cable for networks up to the standard CAT5E performance; for Gigabit networks in electrically noisy environments consider shielded cabling and proper grounding.
