ACT Brown 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Brown 1.5m U/UTP CAT5E Patch Cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors is a 1.5 metre unshielded twisted-pair network cable designed for standard Ethernet networking. It supports CAT5E performance up to 100 MHz and uses AWG#24 conductors with a PVC sheath. The brown-coloured cable is suitable for patching between network devices where a short, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable offers consistent data transmission at bandwidths up to 100 MHz, gold-plated RJ45 contacts for improved contact reliability and reduced corrosion, and a flexible PVC sheath for easy routing. The AWG#24 conductors provide standard signal quality for typical LAN and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in office or home networks
• Patch panel to switch or workstation connections
• Short-distance Ethernet links where CAT5E performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 1.5 m
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Conductors: AWG#24
• Connector: RJ45, gold-plated contacts
• Sheath material: PVC
• Colour: Brown (RAL 8023)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (router, switch or NIC) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends or heavy crushing to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and keep bend radius greater than the cable diameter. Use for in-room or rack patching up to typical Ethernet CAT5E distances.
