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

The ACT Grey 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E patch cable is a short Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts designed for reliable data transmission up to 100 MHz. Its compact 0.5 m length and grey RAL 7045 jacket make it suitable for connections in constrained spaces while maintaining a professional appearance. The cable uses AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath for standard flexibility and protection.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides stable performance within a 100 MHz bandwidth and features gold-plated RJ45 contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter in racks and desktop setups. The PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection, and the grey RAL 7045 colour blends with professional IT environments.

Suitable for

• Short links between network devices (switch to patch panel, patch panel to server)
• Desktop or rack-mounted equipment in tight spaces
• Home and office Ethernet connections requiring CAT5E performance

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices, ensuring a firm click to confirm connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short-distance links to minimise excess cable; avoid sharp bends and kinks. For installations in racks or behind equipment, route the cable so it does not obstruct ventilation or moveable parts.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running this U/UTP CAT5E cable alongside high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than the cable diameter. Replace the cable if connectors are damaged or if data errors occur.
