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

The ACT Red 20 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a 20 m network cable designed for data transmission in home and office environments. It uses U/UTP CAT5E construction with AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath. The cable is finished in RAL 3031 red for easy identification and includes RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent signal transfer up to 100 MHz bandwidth.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable CAT5E performance with a 100 MHz bandwidth and gold-plated RJ45 terminals to reduce contact resistance. Its AWG#24 conductors balance flexibility and signal integrity, while the PVC sheath offers mechanical protection and flexibility for typical installation scenarios. The red RAL 3031 colour simplifies cable management and visual identification within patch panels or structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Structured Ethernet connections (CAT5E) in home and small office networks
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where 20 m length is required

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device or switch and the other plug to the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place. Route the 20 m cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or sources of electrical interference. For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radius recommended for U/UTP CAT5E cables during installation.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E patch cable for standard Ethernet speeds supported by CAT5E at up to 100 MHz; for higher data rates or extended shielded environments, consider using higher-category or shielded cables. Store and route the cable away from high-voltage lines and strong electromagnetic sources to preserve signal quality.
