ACT Red 1 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

Patch cable F/UTP CAT5E ACT Red 1 meter IB7501 is a 1 m network patch lead with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses F/UTP (foil screened twisted pair) design and AWG 26 conductors to provide stable data transmission for home and office network setups. The red LSZH sheath (Pantone 201C) makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and cable runs, while 50 µ gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connector performance.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal quality over short runs. LSZH sheath material lowers smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Gold-plated 50 µ contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. Compact 1 m length suits close connections and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within racks or desktop setups
• Patch panels and structured cabling in small offices
• Short-run connections in home networks and multimedia systems

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 – both ends
• Conductors: AWG 26

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices (for example, switch to PC or switch to patch panel). Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends near the connector ends. Route the cable to prevent strain on connectors and keep the 1 m length for short-distance connections to preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP patch cable for short intra-rack or desk-level connections. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for extended distances; maintain proper bend radius and secure with cable management accessories to prevent mechanical stress.
