Patch Cable ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH Stranded Grey 500m

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable in grey (500 m) is a flexible Ethernet cable intended for reliable data transmission in structured cabling. It combines stranded copper conductors with an ALU foil shield and a low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket to limit harmful emissions in case of fire while remaining easy to route and install.

Advantages

This CAT5E F/UTP cable uses stranded copper conductors for increased flexibility, making it suitable for patching and frequent re-routing. The ALU foil shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for more stable signal transmission. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes smoke and halogen release in the event of a fire, improving safety in enclosed or public spaces.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patch panels and switches
• Horizontal and vertical patching in offices and data rooms
• Temporary or movable installations that require flexible cable
• Environments where low-smoke, low-halogen materials are required

How to use

Cut the required length from the 500 m roll and terminate with compatible CAT5E RJ45 connectors following standard termination schemes (T568A or T568B). Ensure the foil shield is properly connected to the connector/drain wire or to a grounded patch panel to maintain shielding effectiveness. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve the stranded conductors and maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in dry conditions and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures. For permanent horizontal installations in plenum spaces, verify local codes for LSZH and PVC suitability. Use appropriate termination tools and test each link after installation to confirm performance.
