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

The ACT Black 2 meter U/UTP CAT5E Cross RJ45 patch cable is a 2 m network cable designed for device-to-device connections. It features U/UTP CAT5E construction with four AWG#24 conductors and RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to support reliable signal transmission up to 100 MHz. The cable has a black PVC sheath and a red boot, offering a durable and easy-to-route solution for local area network setups.

Advantages

The cable supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth and uses gold-plated RJ45 contacts for stable connections and reduced corrosion. Its U/UTP CAT5E design and AWG#24 conductors provide consistent performance for typical office and home network tasks. The PVC sheath increases durability while the red boot aids in visual identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, routers and switches
• Point-to-point device links in offices or homes
• Temporary or permanent LAN patching where a crossed cable is required
