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

Patch Cable ACT Grey 0.5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 is a short, reliable network patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The U/UTP CAT5E construction supports high-speed data transmission for typical home and office networks, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath reduces smoke and eliminates toxic halogens in case of fire. With a 0.5 m length and grey finish, this cable is intended for short point-to-point connections and helps keep cabling tidy.

Advantages

The cable uses U/UTP CAT5E standards to provide stable data transfer for Ethernet connections and features gold-plated 50 µ contacts for reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard networking equipment. The LSZH sheath improves safety by producing low smoke and no halogenated gases in high-temperature incidents. Its short 0.5 m length makes it suitable for patch panels, switches and devices placed close together, reducing excess cable.

Suitable for

• Short connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Home network setups and office desktop connections
• Environments where low-smoke, zero-halogen materials are preferred
• Structured cabling within racks and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: 50 µ gold plated
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and plug the other end into the device you want to network. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for nearby devices to avoid cable slack; if routing through cable management, avoid sharp bends that could stress the cable.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the cable free from tight bends and excessive tension. Use the 0.5 m length for short intra-rack or desk-level connections; choose a longer CAT5e or higher-category cable if devices are further apart or if future upgrades to higher bandwidth are planned.
