ACT Red 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 2 meter F/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a 2 m network cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. The F/UTP (foil-shielded) structure reduces electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission, while the red LSZH jacket and Pantone 201C colour make the cable easy to identify in dense cable runs. High-quality RJ-45 connectors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts provide consistent signal contact and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The cable’s F/UTP construction helps minimise crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives. LSZH sheathing reduces hazardous smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Gold-plated 50 µ contacts on the RJ45 connectors improve durability and ensure reliable electrical contact. The 2 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or device-to-router connections, and the red colour simplifies identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within home or office networks
• Patch panel to network device connections in structured cabling
• Short-distance workstation and equipment connections (up to 2 m)
• Environments where cable identification and low-smoke sheathing are required

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device and the other to a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; maintain gentle curves and avoid tight bundling to preserve signal integrity. For installation in racks or trunking, label or secure the red cable as part of your cable management plan.

Recommendations

Use this F/UTP CAT5E patch cable for short-distance connections up to 2 m where reduced interference and clear visual identification are needed. Avoid outdoor exposure or direct mechanical strain; replace the cable if connectors or the LSZH sheath show visible damage.
