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

The ACT Blue 15 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB5615) is a 15 m network cable designed for copper Ethernet connections. It uses four unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) with AWG 24 conductors and a PVC sheath, offering up to 100 MHz bandwidth. The cable is fitted with RJ45 connectors featuring gold plating for improved contact and reduced corrosion. The blue RAL 5012 jacket makes it easy to identify in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable provides reliable signal transmission over distances up to 15 meters and supports network applications within the 100 MHz bandwidth range. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors enhance contact quality and longevity, while the PVC sheath protects the internal conductors. The AWG 24 conductors balance flexibility and performance for typical office and home network installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within local networks
• Cabling in office and home network environments
• Patch panel and wall socket interconnections

Key specifications

• Standard: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 15 m
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Conductors: AWG 24
• Sheath material: PVC
• Connector: RJ45 with gold plating
• Colour: Blue (RAL 5012)

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as switches, routers or network sockets. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable ties or clips as needed. For best performance, avoid running parallel to power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal longevity, keep the cable away from heat sources and avoid excessive bending beyond the manufacturer's recommended bend radius. Use this CAT5E cable for standard 100BASE-TX and similar Ethernet applications within its specified bandwidth and length.
