ACT Blue 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

ACT Blue 1.5m U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ-45 connectors is a component-level network cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. The 1.5 meter length and blue PVC sheath (RAL 5012) make the cable easy to route and identify. Conductors are AWG 24 and contacts feature 50 µin gold plating to ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The cable supports CAT5E performance for high-speed data transfer over short to medium runs and uses standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends for broad device compatibility. The blue PVC jacket provides basic mechanical protection and color-coded identification. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and reduce contact resistance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in LANs
• Patch panel to wall socket connections
• Home network and small office cabling
• Temporary setups where a 1.5 m cable is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductors: AWG 24
• Connectors: RJ-45 – both ends
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plating
• Sheath material: PVC
• Colour: Blue (RAL 5012)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports of your devices (for example, computer to switch or switch to patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable ties if needed. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E cable for typical Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps within home and small office environments. For longer runs or higher performance requirements (multi-gigabit or higher shielding needs), consider cables with higher category ratings or shielded constructions.
