ACT Grey 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Grey 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 2.00 m PVC-sheathed cable in grey (RAL 7045). The cable uses AWG#26 conductors, features FTP (F/UTP) shielding and gold-plated contacts (50 µ) for reliable data transmission and reduced interference.

Advantages

The F/UTP CAT5E construction provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, while 50 µ gold-plated contacts ensure stable connector performance and corrosion resistance. The 2.00 m length offers flexibility for typical home or office patching, and the PVC sheath delivers mechanical protection and a standard, easy-to-manage outer finish.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to switches or routers in home and small office networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in wiring closets or server racks
• Short horizontal runs between networked devices requiring CAT5E performance

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP (FTP) CAT5E
• Length: 2.00 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Conductors: AWG#26
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated
• Sheath: PVC
• Colour: Grey (RAL 7045)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices (for example, computer, router, switch or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for best signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this CAT5E patch cable for distances up to typical horizontal run lengths (2 m here) and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the sheath or contacts show visible wear.
