ACT Yellow 0.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable component level with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a short network cable designed for reliable connections between devices in local networks. The 0.5 meter length reduces cable clutter and the yellow PVC sheath (RAL 1023) makes the cable easy to identify. The cable uses AWG 24 conductors and 50µ gold-plated contacts to meet CAT5E performance requirements for data transmission.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides standardized CAT5E performance for Ethernet connections, with RJ45 connectors on both ends for universal compatibility. The compact 0.5 m length is suitable for short links in patch panels, switches and wall outlets, while the yellow PVC sheath improves visibility and cable management. Gold-plated (50 µ) contacts support reliable contact and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet connections between switch and patch panel
• Connecting network devices in racks and server cabinets
• Identifying specific circuits in crowded cable bundles

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, patch panel or workstation) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors click into place for secure contact. Use the 0.5 m length for neat routing in patch cabinets or where short point-to-point connections are required. Avoid sharp bends near the connector to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this CAT5E patch cable in structured cabling systems up to CAT5E specifications and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Ethernet segments. Avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical stress; store and install the cable in dry environments and label ends when used in multi-colour identification schemes.
