ACT Purple 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Purple 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a short, flexible network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in compact setups. It uses U/UTP (unshielded) CAT5E twisted pairs with AWG#24 conductors, PVC sheath and delivers up to 100 MHz bandwidth. The cable is fitted with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and comes in RAL 4005 purple colour. With a 0.5 m length this patch cable is suited for close-proximity device connections where space is limited.

Advantages

The cable provides CAT5E performance up to 100 MHz and uses AWG#24 conductors for standard signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors improve contact conductivity and corrosion resistance. The PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for patch panels, racks or desktop connections. The purple RAL 4005 colour aids visual identification of network runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in racks and cabinets
• Desktop or under-desk Ethernet links between nearby devices
• Home and small office wired networks requiring short patch leads

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Use the cable to link network equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and desktop devices. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling to prevent damage to the conductors; maintain a gentle bend radius consistent with CAT5E cables. For best results, route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid exposing the PVC-sheathed cable to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods. Use the 0.5 m length for short links only; for longer runs select an appropriately rated cable length and category.
