ACT Blue 1 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue IB7601 is a 1 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for short-range network connections. The cable uses AWG#26 conductors, features 50 µin gold-plated contacts and an LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) sheath. Its blue Pantone 292C colour makes it easy to identify in patch panels and cable runs while supporting typical CAT5E data transmission requirements.

Advantages

The F/UTP CAT5E construction provides reliable shielding for twisted pairs, reducing interference in Ethernet networks. Gold-plated contacts (50 µin) improve connector durability and signal contact quality. The LSZH sheath limits smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, increasing safety in enclosed or public spaces.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within racks or nearby devices
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment
• Home and office local area network (LAN) installations requiring CAT5E performance

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into a network device (such as a switch, router or computer) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the paired device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends or kinks near the ends to preserve signal integrity and connector reliability.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this CAT5E patch cable for distances up to 1 metre in typical Ethernet environments and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.
