ACT Blue 5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a component-level network patch cable designed for home and office use. It has AWG 24 conductors, PVC sheath, and 50 µin gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. The cable is blue (RAL 5012) and 5 m long, suitable for connecting switches, routers, PCs and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Advantages

The U/UTP CAT5E design reduces interference and provides stable data transmission for typical Ethernet speeds supported by CAT5E. Gold-plated 50 µin contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-wall or rack-to-equipment connections while the RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small networks
• Home and office wired Ethernet setups

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other end into the switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the clip latches to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; leave service loops where appropriate for maintenance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its 5 m length for typical horizontal connections and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if the sheath or contacts are compromised.
