ACT Red 0.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 0.5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable is a short network cable with F/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It is designed for short-distance connections in confined spaces and comes in red with LSZH sheath and 50 µ gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transfer. Gold-plated 50 µ contacts improve corrosion resistance and connection reliability. The 0.5 m length suits patching between nearby devices, while the LSZH sheath offers reduced smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and nearby devices
• Cabled connections in rack cabinets and tight spaces
• Office or home network short links where colour coding is useful

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until it clicks. Use the 0.5 m ACT F/UTP CAT5E cable for short patch runs where minimal slack is required. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secure to avoid intermittent connections; avoid sharp bends near the connector boots to maintain cable performance.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the cable untwisted beyond the connector termination and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use the red colour for visual identification in structured cabling setups.
