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

The ACT Green 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a short, straight-through network cable designed for connecting routers, switches, computers and other Ethernet-enabled devices over short distances. It features AWG#24 conductors, a PVC sheath and gold-plated RJ45 plugs, and supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth. The cable is 0.5 m long and comes in RAL 6016 green.

Advantages

This CAT5E U/UTP patch cable provides stable, unshielded twisted-pair performance suitable for typical Ethernet networks up to 100 MHz. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The 0.5 m length helps keep cabling tidy in dense racks or desktop setups, and the PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and insulation.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between switches and patch panels
• Connecting a router to a modem or switch in home and small office setups
• Desktop workstation connections to nearby network equipment
• Colour-coded cable management and identification

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT5E U/UTP
• Length: 0.5 m
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Conductors: AWG#24
• Connector: RJ45, gold-plated contacts

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and that cable routing avoids sharp bends or pinching. For best performance, use this CAT5E cable for connections within equipment racks or for short links where higher-category or shielded cables are not required.

Recommendations

For reliable results, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and do not exceed the recommended bend radius for AWG#24 cables. Use colour-coded patching to simplify network maintenance and replacement.
