ACT Grey 0.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT F/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB7100) in grey is a 0.5 meter network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a PVC sheath. Designed for short-distance connections, the cable features an F/UTP construction that provides foil shielding around the twisted pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal stability in home and office networks.

Advantages

The cable uses AWG#26 conductors and 50 µ gold-plated contacts in the RJ-45 connectors to ensure consistent contact quality and low signal loss. Its compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is suitable for connecting nearby devices. The PVC sheath and grey RAL 7045 colour offer basic mechanical protection and a neutral appearance that fits standard installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (switch to patch panel, patch panel to outlet)
• Home and small office network setups
• Situations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (shielded link)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices (for example switch, patch panel, router or network outlet). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Because the cable is only 0.5 m long, position devices close together to avoid tension on the cable. Verify link status on devices to confirm proper connection.

Recommendations

Use this ACT F/UTP CAT5E 0.5 m patch cable for short internal connections where shielding is desired; avoid bending the cable sharply or exposing it to mechanical strain to maintain signal integrity and connector life.
