ACT Ivory 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

ACT Ivory 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors (IK5403) is a component-level network cable designed for standard Ethernet installations. The cable has AWG#24 conductors, a PVC sheath in ivory (RAL 1015) and gold-plated contacts (50 µ) on the RJ-45 plugs to maintain consistent signal transfer over a 3 m length.

Advantages

The CAT5E U/UTP design provides reliable performance for Fast Ethernet and typical office/home networking. AWG#24 conductors and 50 µ gold contacts reduce signal loss and contact corrosion. The 3 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices at short to medium distances, while the PVC sheath provides basic protection and insulation in indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home networks
• Office desk wiring and patch panels
• Network devices requiring RJ-45 termination at short to medium distance

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as computers, switches or routers until the latch clicks. Ensure cable routing avoids sharp bends and high-interference sources (power cables, heavy machinery). For patch panel installations, use appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and strain relief.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E patch cable for standard Ethernet links up to typical CAT5E limits; for higher-speed or longer-distance requirements consider upgraded cabling (CAT6/6A) or fiber optics. Store and route the cable indoors, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the PVC sheath and connector plating.
