ACT Ivory 1 meter SF/UTP CAT5E patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Ivory 1 meter SF/UTP CAT5E snagless patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a compact network cable designed for short runs and tight installation spaces. It supports CAT5E performance with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference, and features snagless boots on both RJ45 plugs to protect the connector clips during routing. The 1 m length and neutral ivory color make it suitable for desk, rack, and wall-mounted connections where a discreet, reliable link is required.

Advantages

This patch cable offers CAT5E-rated data transmission suitable for Ethernet networks up to 1 Gbps under appropriate conditions, combined with S/FTP shielding that improves immunity to external noise. The snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latches from catching on equipment or cable management channels, extending connector life and simplifying installation. Its compact length reduces excess slack and clutter while the durable outer jacket provides mechanical protection for consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and patch panels in office or home networks
• Short-distance links in patch cabinets and server racks
• Workspace and desktop connections behind furniture or monitors
• Environments requiring improved EMI/RFI protection for copper cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 with snagless boot
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: ivory/beige
• Conductor: twisted pair copper

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-tension points; keep the cable clear of strong electrical noise sources where possible. When disconnecting, press the snagless boot to depress the latch and remove the connector straight out to prevent damage. For tidy installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable ties or management clips without over-compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short-distance connections within racks, patch panels and workspaces. Avoid exceeding recommended bend radius and do not run the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to maintain signal integrity. For environments with extreme interference or higher bandwidth needs, consider higher-category shielded cables.
