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

The ACT Ivory 0.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides a short, shielded Ethernet connection with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for short-distance links between network devices, the 0.5 m cable uses FTP (F/UTP) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. The ivory (beige) PVC sheath and AWG 26 conductors make it suitable for tidy installations in home or office environments.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding improves signal stability by protecting the twisted pairs from external interference. Gold-plated 50 μm contacts on the RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The 0.5 m length minimises cable clutter for close device placements, while the PVC sheath provides basic mechanical protection and a neutral ivory colour that blends with most interiors.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC, switch or router over short distances (0.5 m)
• Patching in wall outlets and patch panels in small offices
• Desktop networking setups where minimal cable length is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP (FTP) CAT5E
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: 50 µm gold plating
• Sheath material: PVC
• Colour: Ivory (RAL 1015 / Beige)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network ports of devices such as PCs, switches or routers. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for short-distance links to avoid excess slack; route the cable to prevent sharp bends that could damage the internal conductors or reduce performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP cable in environments with limited electromagnetic interference and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the sheath or plugs show signs of wear.
