ACT Blue 5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT F/UTP CAT5E patch cable in blue is a 5 metre cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for structured Ethernet connections. It uses FTP shielding over twisted pairs to reduce interference and has 26 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts. The sheath is made of LSZH material for reduced smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

This F/UTP CAT5E cable provides reliable data transmission for typical home and office networks, combining FTP shielding with 26 AWG conductors and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for stable connectivity. The 5 m length offers flexibility in device placement while the LSZH sheath enhances safety in enclosed spaces. The blue colour (Pantone 292C) helps with cable identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to routers, switches or patch panels
• Ethernet cabling in home and small office networks
• Temporary or permanent desk- and rack-level connections where 5 m reach is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E (foil-shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Connectors: RJ-45 – both ends
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Blue (Pantone 292C)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices (computer, router, switch or patch panel) until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure connectors and ports are free from dust and damage before connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain a gentle bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this F/UTP CAT5E cable within typical Ethernet distance limits for the intended network speed, avoid running it parallel to high-power electrical cables to minimize interference, and replace the cable if connectors or the sheath show visible wear.
