ACT Black 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB5920) is a 20 m network cable designed for Ethernet connections. It uses four AWG#24 conductors with PVC sheath and meets CAT5E U/UTP (unshielded) specifications, offering a bandwidth of 100 MHz and standard RJ45 termination with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transfer. The cable is finished in RAL 9011 black and is suitable for common networking installations and device interconnections.

Advantages

The cable provides a balance of flexibility and signal integrity for typical LAN applications, supporting up to CAT5E performance with 100 MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts help reduce corrosion and maintain connection quality, while the 20 m length allows placement flexibility without additional extensions. The PVC sheath offers standard insulation and mechanical protection in indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network devices within offices or homes
• Structured cabling for small to medium LANs
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet runs where CAT5E performance is sufficient

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep it away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. For best results, use within its specified 20 m length without additional passive couplers.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E U/UTP patch cable for standard Ethernet connections in indoor environments. For runs requiring higher bandwidth or shielded protection against interference, consider CAT6/CAT6A or shielded cable variants.
