ACT Purple 5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT IB4705 U/UTP CAT5E patch cable in purple is a 5-meter networking cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. It uses four pairs of AWG 24 conductors and a PVC sheath, supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth and is fitted with RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

This CAT5E cable offers reliable data transmission up to 100 MHz and a 5 m length that accommodates typical home and office layouts. The gold-plated RJ45 contacts reduce contact resistance and help maintain stable connections. The purple PVC jacket makes cable identification easier in crowded cable runs while providing basic mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in homes and small offices
• Connecting switches, routers, modems and network ports on computers
• Patch panel to wall socket links in structured cabling of small networks

Key specifications

• Standard: U/UTP CAT5E
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Length: 5 m
• Conductors: AWG 24
• Sheath material: PVC
• Connectors: RJ45 with gold-plated contacts

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the router, switch, or wall socket. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; secure with cable ties or clips as needed to keep pathways organized.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential electromagnetic interference. Replace the cable if the sheath or connectors show visible damage.
