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

The ACT Blue 5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB5605) is a 5 m blue network cable designed for Ethernet connections. It uses unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) CAT5E construction with AWG#24 conductors, a PVC sheath and RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, supporting a bandwidth of up to 100 MHz for reliable data transmission in home and office networks.

Advantages

This patch cable provides consistent signal transmission thanks to gold-plated RJ45 contacts and AWG#24 conductors. The PVC sheath offers mechanical protection and flexibility, while the CAT5E U/UTP design supports typical Ethernet speeds and a bandwidth of 100 MHz. The 5 m length gives room for flexible device placement without excessive cable slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers, switches and modems in home networks
• Office workstation cabling and patch panels
• LAN setups where CAT5E performance up to 100 MHz is sufficient

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device (router, switch or PC) and the other into the corresponding port of the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference; secure with cable ties or clips if needed. Test the connection after installation to confirm link and speed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the U/UTP cable in parallel with power lines and maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Replace the cable if connectors or sheath show visible damage.
