ACT Red 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides a reliable wired connection between network devices. It uses AWG#24 conductors, PVC sheath and gold-plated (50 µ) RJ-45 contacts to ensure consistent signal transfer over a 1.5 m length. The red RAL 3031 jacket makes cable identification easy in patch panels and wiring closets while the U/UTP CAT5E construction supports high-speed data transmission for typical home and office networks.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable combines standard-compliant U/UTP design with 50 µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to reduce contact resistance and improve long-term reliability. The AWG#24 conductors and PVC sheath provide durable handling and predictable electrical performance. The distinctive red colour (RAL 3031) simplifies cable management and visual identification in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and network devices over short distances
• Patch panels and structured cabling in offices and server rooms
• Home network setups requiring visible colour coding

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully seated and test the link with network diagnostics or a cable tester if available. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference for best performance.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid excessive bending or pulling on the cable and keep it separate from mains power cables where possible. Use colour-coded patch cables like this red ACT CAT5E to simplify identification and maintenance in structured cabling installations.
