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

The ACT Grey 2 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a 2 m network cable designed for reliable data transmission up to CAT5E performance. It uses U/UTP construction with AWG#24 conductors, a PVC sheath, and gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs. The cable has a neutral grey colour (RAL 7045) suitable for home or office network installations and supports frequencies up to 100 MHz.

Advantages

This patch cable combines CAT5E specification with gold-plated RJ45 contacts to reduce contact resistance and improve signal transmission. The AWG#24 conductors and PVC sheath provide a balance of flexibility and durability for everyday network use. Its 2 m length offers convenience for typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections while the grey RAL 7045 colour maintains a professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers and network devices to switches or routers
• Patch-panel to switch or switch-to-wall outlet links in small offices
• Home networking connections between routers, modems and devices

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (PC, switch, router or wall outlet) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy compression; keep it away from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For best results, use the cable within its 2 m length for short links such as desk setups and patch-panel connections.

Recommendations

Use this ACT U/UTP CAT5E patch cable for standard Ethernet links up to 100 MHz. For environments requiring higher bandwidth or PoE at higher power levels, consider upgrading to CAT6 or better-rated cables and verify connector and device compatibility.
