Patch Cable U/UTP CAT5E ACT Red 1 meter IB5501

The ACT Red 1 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable (IB5501) is a 1 m network cable with AWG 24 conductors, PVC sheath and gold-plated RJ45 connectors. It supports up to 100 MHz bandwidth and is finished in RAL 3031 red, suitable for connecting network devices in confined spaces where a short, reliable copper patch lead is required.

Advantages

This CAT5E U/UTP cable provides a compact 1 m length for tidy installations, AWG 24 conductors for standard signal transmission, and a PVC sheath for basic mechanical protection. Gold-plated RJ45 plugs improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the 100 MHz bandwidth supports common Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over short distances when conditions allow.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in small racks or workstations
• Patching within wall outlets or patch panels where a short cable is needed
• Color-coding network runs for easy identification

Key specifications

• Category: U/UTP CAT5E
• Length: 1 m
• Bandwidth: 100 MHz
• Conductors: AWG 24
• Sheath: PVC
• Connector plating: Gold-plated RJ45
• Colour (RAL): 3031 (Red)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of each device until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable ties or organizers if necessary. For patch panel installations, push the connector fully into the panel port. Test the connection with a network tester or by verifying link/activity indicators on connected equipment.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT5E patch cable for short-distance connections in home or office networks; avoid exposure to prolonged UV, extreme temperatures or excessive mechanical stress to maintain performance and connector integrity.
