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

The ACT Yellow 0.5m U/UTP CAT5E RJ45 patch cable is a short network cable designed for reliable connections between nearby devices. It uses four pairs of AWG#24 copper conductors in an unshielded U/UTP configuration and features PVC sheathing in RAL 1023 (traffic yellow). The RJ-45 plugs have 50 µin gold-plated contacts and the cable is 100% tested to ensure consistent performance.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable combines full copper AWG#24 conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts for stable signal transmission. Its 0.5 m length reduces clutter for close-range connections, while the bright yellow PVC sheath makes identification in patch panels and cable runs easier. The cable is fully tested for quality assurance.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices located close to each other (switches, patch panels, routers)
• Structured cabling in offices and data racks requiring color-coded identification
• Home networking where short, reliable patch cords are needed

Key specifications

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 plug firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices in close proximity to avoid excess cable slack. Ensure connectors and ports are free of debris before use and route the cable to prevent sharp bends that could damage conductors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E patch cable for short-distance connections up to typical Ethernet speeds supported by CAT5E, and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical strain. Replace the cable if the sheath or connector shows visible damage.
