ACT CAT5E U/UTP Stranded Patch Green 305 m Cable Length 305 m

The ACT CAT5E U/UTP Stranded Patch Green 305 m Cable Length 305 m is a stranded Ethernet cable designed for general data and network installations. It has four twisted pairs of stranded copper conductors with a PVC jacket and a 5.6 mm overall diameter. The green jacket provides a clear visual identifier for patching and cable management in racks, comms cabinets and structured cabling runs.

Advantages

This CAT5E U/UTP stranded patch cable combines flexibility and durability thanks to its stranded AWG24 copper wires and PVC outer sheath. The unshielded twisted pair construction supports typical CAT5E data transmission requirements while the stranded conductors make the cable easier to route through conduits and around bends during installation. The consistent 5.6 mm diameter and color-coded pair scheme improve predictability for terminations and identification.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and horizontal patching in office networks
• Temporary or movable network connections where flexibility is needed
• Cable management where color-coding simplifies identification
• Home and small business Ethernet links up to CAT5E performance

Key specifications

• Cable construction: 4 twisted pairs (U/UTP)
• Conductor: stranded copper, AWG24
• Individual pair colors: Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White
• Jacket material: PVC
• Outer diameter: 5.6 mm
• Length: 305 m

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 305 m spool, strip the jacket and separate the twisted pairs to match the intended wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Terminate using compatible RJ45 connectors rated for stranded AWG24 conductors or punch down into patch panels designed for stranded cable. Route the cable through cable trays, conduits or raceways, taking care to avoid sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference despite the unshielded construction.

Recommendations

For consistent performance, maintain recommended bend radii and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures that could affect the PVC jacket. Use this stranded CAT5E cable where flexibility is required; for permanent horizontal runs in commercial installations consider using solid conductor cable rated for building cabling.
