ACT Blue 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

ACT Blue 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors (IK5603, EAN 8716065240801) is a 3 m network cable designed for Ethernet connections in home and office environments. The cable uses 24 AWG conductors and a U/UTP CAT5E construction to provide stable data transmission while reducing external interference. The blue PVC sheath (RAL 5012) and gold-plated 50 µ contacts ensure reliable connector performance.

Advantages

The cable offers reliable RJ45 connectivity with 50 µ gold-plated contacts for improved contact durability and signal transfer. AWG#24 conductors support standard CAT5E performance for typical Ethernet applications. The U/UTP design helps minimize electromagnetic interference and the PVC sheath provides basic insulation and mechanical protection. A 3 meter length gives flexibility for device placement in small offices and homes.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in home networks
• Patch connections in office network racks and patch panels
• Linking network printers and IP cameras within short to medium distances

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For patch panel installations, insert connectors into the appropriate ports and label both ends if required for identification.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E cable for Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over short to medium distances. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the sheath is cut or conductors are exposed.
