ACT Red 15 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 15 meter U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a 15 m network cable designed for Ethernet connections. It uses U/UTP CAT5E construction with four AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath, and is fitted with RJ45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. The cable meets a 100 MHz bandwidth and comes in RAL 3031 red color, suitable for standard wired LAN setups and patch panels.

Advantages

The cable provides consistent data transmission within CAT5E bandwidth up to 100 MHz and durable PVC insulation. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts reduce corrosion and improve contact reliability. The 15 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-desk or inter-rack connections, and the distinct red RAL 3031 color helps with cable identification and organization.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections (10/100 Mbps)
• Patching between network switches, routers and patch panels
• Cable management and color-coded installations
