CAT5E F/UTP Solid Cable ACT FS100H 100m Grey

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP Solid Cable FS100H is a 100 m grey network cable designed for reliable data transmission in home and office environments. It features a durable PVC jacket, four solid copper AWG24 conductors arranged in four twisted pairs (Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White) and an aluminium foil shield to reduce external interference.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction with aluminium foil shielding improves resistance to electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded cables. Solid AWG24 copper conductors provide stable signal integrity over longer, fixed installations. The PVC jacket offers mechanical protection and a neutral grey colour that suits most installations.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in homes and small offices
• Ethernet networks up to CAT5E performance levels (e.g., 100BASE-TX)
• Permanent horizontal and vertical cabling runs within buildings

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT5E F/UTP solid
• Length: 100 m
• Conductor: Solid copper AWG24
• Pairs: 4 (Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White)
• Shielding: Aluminium foil (F/UTP)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Colour: Grey (ivory noted in technical data for internal cable colour variants)

How to use

Run the cable along the planned cable routes, avoiding sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Terminate the solid conductors with suitable RJ45 keystone jacks or punch-down blocks rated for solid AWG24 wire and for shielded cable where appropriate. Ensure the aluminium foil shield is properly grounded at one end according to local installation practices to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP solid cable for fixed, in‑wall or in‑duct installations rather than for frequent flexing or patching. Pair the cable with compatible shielded connectors and maintain proper grounding of the foil shield.
