Patch Cable ACT CAT5E U/UTP Stranded Ivory 500m

The ACT CAT5E U/UTP stranded patch cable in ivory color is a 500 m length communication cable designed for fast Ethernet and general networking use. Constructed with four unshielded twisted pairs of stranded copper conductors, the cable offers a compact 5.6 mm diameter and PVC sheath for standard installation in homes and offices.

Advantages

The stranded AWG24 copper conductors and U/UTP pair arrangement reduce crosstalk and provide flexibility for routing and frequent handling. The PVC outer material delivers standard mechanical protection and the 500 m drum length minimizes joins for longer runs.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Ethernet networking (CAT5E) for home and small office installations
• Patch cabling between switches, patch panels and wall sockets
• Structured cabling where flexible stranded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable construction: 4 pairs (blue/white, orange/white, green/white, brown/white)
• Conductor: stranded copper, AWG24
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs)
• Insulation / sheath: PVC
• Colour: ivory
• Diameter: 5.6 mm
• Length: 500 m

How to use

Cut the required length from the 500 m drum and terminate each end with compatible RJ45 connectors rated for stranded AWG24 conductors. Follow standard CAT5E wiring schemes (T568A or T568B) and test the terminated cable with a network tester to verify continuity and pair integrity before putting it into service.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends (bend radius should be several times the cable diameter), keep the cable away from strong electrical interference sources, and use proper cable management to prevent mechanical stress on the conductors and connectors.
