ACT Purple 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Purple 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable features full copper conductors and meets ANSI/TIA-568-C2-1 performance requirements. With gold-plated RJ45 connectors and a 20 m length, this Cat5e U/UTP cable is intended for reliable data transmission in home and office networks and supports Power over Ethernet when used with compatible devices.

Advantages

The cable uses full copper conductors to ensure low resistance and stable signal transmission, and the gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide improved contact reliability. Compliance with ANSI/TIA standards helps maintain consistent performance over time, while the U/UTP construction reduces external interference. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of networked devices without additional patching.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Wired Ethernet connections in homes and small offices
• Connecting switches, routers and workstations within a network rack or room
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices such as IP cameras and access points (when PoE equipment is used)
• Structured copper data cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to your network device (switch, router or wall socket) and the other to the target device (computer, IP camera, access point). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. For rack installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and prevent compression; maintain reasonable separation from large power cables to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For PoE applications, always use cables with full copper conductors like this ACT Cat5e patch cable and verify that your PoE injector or switch supplies the required power class. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if shielding or conductors are compromised.
