ACT Brown 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT patch cable U/UTP CAT5E Brown, 20 meter (IB4620) is a network patch cable with full copper conductors and RJ45 connectors with gold plating. The 20 m cable uses U/UTP construction to reduce external interference and is designed to meet ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 performance requirements, providing a reliable connection for structured copper data networks and compatibility with PoE applications when used with full copper conductors.

Advantages

The cable features full copper conductors for consistent conductivity and compatibility with Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems, RJ45 gold-plated connectors for stable contact and corrosion resistance, and U/UTP design to limit electromagnetic interference. Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 ensures performance suitable for CAT5E installations, while the 20 m length offers flexibility for diverse network layouts.

Suitable for

• Wiring and patching in structured copper data networks
• Ethernet connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• PoE devices such as IP phones, cameras and access points (requires full copper conductors)
• Office and home networking where a 20 m cable run is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 20 m
• Conductors: full copper
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with gold plating
• Colour: Brown
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 compliant

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to your network device (switch, router, patch panel) and the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the cable is routed without excessive bending or tension. For PoE devices, confirm both the network equipment and cable support PoE and that the cable's full copper conductors are intact.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and strong electromagnetic sources. Avoid sharp bends and prolonged compression; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for CAT5E cables. For permanent installations, test each link with appropriate network testers to verify performance and PoE delivery.
