ACT Red 7 meter F/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

Patch Cable ACT Red 7 meter F/UTP CAT5E RJ45 is a 7 m network patch cable designed for home and office use. The F/UTP CAT5E construction provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, ensuring stable data transmission between devices. The cable comes in a distinctive red (Pantone 201C) colour and uses AWG#26 conductors with RJ-45 connectors featuring 50 µ gold-plated contacts. The sheath is made of LSZH material.

Advantages

The shielded F/UTP design reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting reliable Ethernet connections over a 7 m length. High-quality RJ-45 connectors with 50 µ gold contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. AWG#26 conductors provide consistent signal transfer, and the LSZH sheath lowers smoke emission and toxic gas release in case of fire. The red colour (Pantone 201C) helps with cable identification and organised installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home networks
• Office wiring where colour-coded cabling is required
• Patch panels and structured cabling runs up to 7 m
• Environments needing reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Route the cable between devices or patch panels, avoiding sharp bends and tight cable ties to maintain signal integrity. Insert RJ-45 connectors firmly into device ports until they click. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines. Use the red colour to mark specific connections or circuits within a structured cabling system.

Recommendations

For reliable Ethernet performance, use this F/UTP CAT5E cable for runs up to 7 m and ensure connectors and ports are free of dust. In installations where fire safety is a priority, the LSZH sheath reduces hazardous emissions. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
