ACT Ivory 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Ivory 1.5m U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a straight-through network cable designed for Ethernet connections up to CAT5E performance. With a 1.5 meter length and an ivory jacket, the cable connects computers, switches, routers and other network equipment using standard RJ45 connectors. The U/UTP construction (unshielded with overall braid omitted) and gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs provide consistent signal transmission and corrosion resistance in typical home and office environments.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable combines compact length and a neutral ivory color for tidy cable runs and visible aesthetics. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts reduce contact resistance and improve long-term reliability. The cable's CAT5E grading supports common Ethernet speeds and networking protocols while the U/UTP design offers flexible handling for installation in patch panels, wall plates or between desktop devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and printers to local network ports
• Linking switches and routers within a network rack or home office
• Patching between wall outlets and network devices in residential or small office setups
• Temporary test or diagnostic connections in IT maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1.5 m
• Outer colour: Ivory
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper (solid or stranded depending on manufacturing batch)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain stable electrical contact. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges or heavy compression that could damage the jacket or internal pairs. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use this CAT5E patch cable for distances up to typical horizontal run lengths and avoid placing it parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. Verify network speed and duplex settings on connected devices to ensure compatibility with CAT5E links.
