ACT Yellow 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 3 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB5803) is a 3 m network cable with AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath, designed for Ethernet connections using RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts. With a 100 MHz bandwidth and distinctive RAL 1023 yellow colour, it is suitable for organized cabling where clear identification and reliable data transmission are required.

Advantages

This CAT5E U/UTP patch cable provides up to 100 MHz bandwidth for standard Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit applications over short runs. The AWG#24 conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable connectivity and reduced corrosion. The PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility, while the yellow RAL 1023 jacket helps with quick visual identification in patch panels and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Desktop PCs and laptops
• Network switches and routers
• Patch panels and structured cabling
• Home and small office LAN setups

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the device (PC, switch, router) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the network equipment or patch panel. Ensure each connector is fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E cable for connections up to 3 m and in environments matching the cable’s specification. For runs requiring higher bandwidth or longer distances, consider CAT6/CAT6A alternatives.
