ACT Blue 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

ACT Blue 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors, blue (RAL 5012). The cable uses AWG#24 conductors, PVC sheath and RJ-45 plugs with 50 µ gold-plated contacts. Its 0.5 metre length is intended for short-distance network connections while complying with CAT5E component-level performance.

Advantages

The patch cable provides reliable CAT5E performance in a compact 0.5 m length, easy identification thanks to its blue RAL 5012 colour and consistent contact quality from 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The PVC sheath and U/UTP construction offer standard mechanical protection for typical home and office use.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short patch connections in network racks and patch panels
• Connecting switches to nearby devices (computers, routers, access points)
• Cable management in dense wiring environments where short runs are needed

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m length for short connections between nearby equipment, avoiding excessive bending or tension on the cable. Ensure ports are powered down if required by your equipment before connecting or disconnecting.

Recommendations

For best signal integrity, avoid tight bends (bend radius less than 4× cable diameter) and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as mains transformers or heavy-duty motors. Replace the cable if the sheath or connectors show visible damage.
