ACT Brown 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT IB4600 is a 0.5 m U/UTP CAT5E patch cable in brown with gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Designed for short connections between network devices, this cable supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth and uses AWG#24 conductors with a PVC sheath to provide reliable signal transmission for typical home and office networking needs.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 0.5 m length suitable for tidy setups, gold-plated RJ45 plugs for improved contact reliability, and CAT5E specification ensuring support for fast Ethernet applications up to the cable's 100 MHz rating. PVC sheath and AWG#24 conductors deliver standard durability and consistent electrical characteristics.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers over short distances
• Patching within wall outlets, patch panels or network racks
• Home and small office Ethernet connections

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your source device (for example a computer or switch) and the other connector into the destination device. Use the 0.5 m length for close-proximity connections to reduce cable clutter. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and locked to maintain good contact.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; keep it away from high-power electrical cables to minimise interference. Replace the cable if connectors show visible wear or if data errors occur.
