ACT Black 5 meter LSZH F/UTP CAT5E patch cable cross with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 5 meter LSZH F/UTP CAT5E patch cable (model IB5105) is a 5 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The cable uses F/UTP CAT5E construction with AWG 26 conductors and 50 µ gold-plated contacts, and the outer sheath is made of LSZH material for reduced smoke and no halogens in case of fire. The cable is black with red boots on the connectors, designed for reliable data transmission between computers, routers, switches and other Ethernet devices.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5E performance with foil-screened twisted pairs (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference, 50 µ gold contacts for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance, and an LSZH sheath for enhanced safety in enclosed or public spaces. RJ-45 connectors on both ends provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to switches or routers
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment
• Home and office Ethernet wiring where low-smoke materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Black (boots: Red)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your computer, switch or router, and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight twists or areas with strong electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP cable for network segments up to 100 meters per link and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the sheath is cut or exposed.
