ACT Red 3 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 3 meter F/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a 3.00 m network cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired connections between network devices. The cable uses FTP shielding (F/UTP), 26 AWG conductors, and LSZH sheath material. Contacts are plated with 50 µ gold for improved contact reliability. The bright red (Pantone 201C) jacket aids cable identification and organization in home or office environments.

Advantages

This F/UTP CAT5E cable provides shielded transmission to reduce electromagnetic interference, standardized RJ45 terminations for wide compatibility, and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) sheath for safer installation in enclosed spaces. Gold-plated contacts enhance connectivity stability and corrosion resistance. The 3 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or device-to-router connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers and networked peripherals
• Patch panels and structured cabling in small offices or home networks
• Cable runs where color-coded identification is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP (FTP) CAT5E
• Length: 3.00 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 – both ends
• Conductors: AWG 26
• Contacts: 50 µ gold plated
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Red (Pantone 201C)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into a switch, router or wall jack until it clicks. Ensure both devices are powered and configured for the desired network settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; secure with cable ties or organizers as needed. Verify link LEDs on networking equipment to confirm connectivity.

Recommendations

Use this CAT5E F/UTP patch cable for standard Ethernet connections up to CAT5E performance levels. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimize interference, and replace the cable if the sheath or connectors become damaged.
