ACT Blue 20 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 20 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable IB7620 is a 20 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired connections over longer distances. Its F/UTP construction provides shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference while maintaining CAT5E performance for fast data transmission. The cable is blue (Pantone 292C) with LSZH sheath and AWG#26 conductors; contacts are gold plated (50 µ). It is suitable for office or home network installations that require a shielded CAT5E connection.

Advantages

The cable combines F/UTP shielding with CAT5E specification to offer improved protection against interference compared with unshielded variants. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure wide compatibility with standard network equipment. A low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath reduces hazardous emissions in confined spaces. Gold-plated contacts provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between switches, routers and devices
• Office and home network wiring where 20 m reach is needed
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations preferring LSZH cable sheath

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Conductors: AWG #26
• Contacts: 50 µ gold plated
• Sheath: LSZH
• Colour: Blue (Pantone 292C)

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or device and the other end into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and that cable routing avoids sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties without compressing the sheath.

Recommendations

Use the ACT F/UTP CAT5E patch cable for standard Ethernet applications up to CAT5E performance. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference; for wall or conduit installations follow local installation standards.
