ACT Blue 7 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 7 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a component-level U/UTP network cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. The cable uses AWG24 conductors, PVC sheath and RJ-45 plugs with 50 µin gold-plated contacts, and supports data rates up to 1 Gbps for typical Ethernet applications. Its blue RAL 5012 colour makes it easy to identify in cable runs.

Advantages

The CAT5E U/UTP construction provides a balance of performance and cost for gigabit Ethernet, while AWG24 conductors ensure consistent signal transmission. Gold-plated contacts (50 µin) reduce corrosion and improve contact reliability. The PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility suitable for typical indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers to a local network
• Patch panel to switch connections in small offices
• Home networking and multimedia streaming

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 7 m
• Conductors: AWG24
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plated
• Sheath: PVC
• Colour: Blue (RAL 5012)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices you want to connect, such as a router, switch or computer. Ensure connectors click into place and that the cable is not sharply bent or pinched. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines over long distances.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E patch cable for indoor Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps in typical office and home environments. Replace the cable if the sheath or connectors become damaged, and choose shielded or higher-category cables for environments with significant electromagnetic interference or where higher bandwidth is required.
