ACT Red 5 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

ACT Red 5 meter F/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable with LSZH sheath provides a 5 m connection between network devices using RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses AWG#26 conductors, F/UTP shielding to reduce interference, and 50 µm gold-plated contacts. Its red colour (Pantone 201C) makes the cable easy to identify in installations and the LSZH sheath minimises smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

The cable delivers stable CAT5E performance over a 5 m length with foil shielding (F/UTP) for improved immunity to external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated 50 µm contacts ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance. AWG#26 conductors provide consistent signal transmission, while the LSZH sheath offers a safer option for indoor installations where low smoke and low halogen materials are required.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within offices or data cabinets
• Patch panels and wall sockets in structured cabling systems
• Temporary or permanent connections in classrooms, meeting rooms and server rooms
• Environments where cable identification by color is useful

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain appropriate bend radius and secure with cable management accessories if needed. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

Use this F/UTP CAT5E cable for standard Ethernet connections up to CAT5E performance levels. Choose the red colour to simplify identification in multi-cable setups and prefer LSZH-sheathed cables in indoor public or confined spaces where low smoke and halogen emissions are required.
