ACT Red 20 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

Patch cable F/UTP CAT5E ACT Red 20 meter IB7520 is a 20 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for data transmission in home and office networks. The F/UTP (foil shielded, unshielded twisted pair) construction reduces electromagnetic interference, while LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) sheath material improves safety in confined spaces. The cable is red (Pantone 201C) and uses 26 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts for reliable connections.

Advantages

The cable combines foil shielding with twisted-pair wiring to limit external interference and crosstalk, supporting stable CAT5E performance. RJ-45 connectors with 50 µ gold contacts provide corrosion resistance and consistent signal transfer. The LSZH sheath reduces toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. A 20 m length offers extended reach without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in small office/home networks
• Structured cabling runs requiring CAT5E performance
• Environments where low-smoke zero-halogen jacket is preferred
• Color-coded installations for easy cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 — both ends
• Conductor size: AWG 26
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold
• Sheath: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Colour: Red (Pantone 201C)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the network ports of your devices (for example, a computer and a switch or router). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of heavy electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or trays, keeping within bend radius guidelines for CAT5E cabling.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within CAT5E specifications and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables. Verify network settings and test the connection after installation using a cable tester or network diagnostic tools.
