Patch cable ACT CAT5E U/UTP with RJ45 connectors, 15 m, green, gold-plated contacts

ACT Green CAT5E U/UTP patch cable, 15 m, provides Category 5e performance for Ethernet networks up to 100 MHz. The cable uses four twisted pairs with AWG 24 conductors and a PVC jacket in RAL 6016 green for clear identification in racks and cabling runs. RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and improved corrosion resistance for consistent connectivity in office and home environments.

Advantages

The U/UTP design offers basic electromagnetic compatibility for typical Ethernet installations while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors reduce contact resistance and help maintain signal integrity over repeated insertions. The 15 m length is suitable for longer patching runs without introducing active components, and the green PVC sheath simplifies visual management of cable groups.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections up to CAT5E performance (100 Mbps and typical gigabit-friendly up to environment limits)
• Patch panels, wall ports and network switches where a 15 m patch lead is required
• Home and small office structured cabling and device interconnects

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5E, suitable for frequencies up to 100 MHz
• Cable length: 15 m
• Conductor size: AWG 24, four twisted pairs
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with unshielded overall)
• Outer sheath: PVC, color RAL 6016 (green)
• Connector: RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices, patch panels or switches until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the 15 m cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve signal quality. When disconnecting, press the latch on the plug before pulling to avoid damaging the connector. For best results, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as high-voltage power lines or large motors.

Recommendations

For predictable network performance, use the cable within indoor environments, avoid permanent exposure to sunlight or moisture, and pair with CAT5E-compliant networking equipment. For installations requiring higher noise immunity or outdoor use, consider shielded or higher-category alternatives.
