ACT Blue 15 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

Patch cable F/UTP CAT5E ACT Blue 15 meter IB7615 is a 15 m network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for Ethernet connections. The F/UTP (foil screened twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and supports reliable data transmission. The cable comes in blue (Pantone 292C) with 26 AWG conductors and LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) sheath for safer use in enclosed spaces.

Advantages

The cable features 50 µ gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors for improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Its F/UTP screening provides additional protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, and the 26 AWG conductors balance flexibility with signal integrity. The LSZH sheath minimises toxic smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Wiring between network devices such as switches, routers and patch panels
• Office and data centre cabling where a 15 m reach is required
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Type: F/UTP CAT5E patch cable
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 – RJ-45
• Conductors: AWG #26
• Contacts: 50 µ gold
• Sheath: LSZH
• Colour: Blue (Pantone 292C)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the other device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain separation from power cables where possible to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP patch cable for connections up to 15 m in typical Ethernet setups. Avoid repeated bending at the connector ends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. If higher bandwidth or longer runs are required, consider CAT6 or fibre solutions.
