Patch Cable ACT Red 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 1.5 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a 1.5 m network cable designed for Ethernet connections. It uses U/UTP CAT5E construction, AWG#24 conductors and a PVC sheath, and offers a bandwidth of 100 MHz. The cable is finished in RAL 3031 red and includes gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs for consistent signal transfer.

Advantages

This U/UTP CAT5E patch cable provides reliable 100 MHz bandwidth for typical Ethernet applications and uses AWG#24 conductors to maintain signal integrity. The RJ45 connectors have gold-plated contacts to reduce corrosion and improve contact quality. A PVC sheath offers basic mechanical protection and flexibility, while the red RAL 3031 colour helps with cable identification in patch panels and structured cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in local area networks
• Workstation or server connections requiring 1 Gbps or lower speeds within CAT5E limits
• Identifying and organizing network runs using colour-coded cabling

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable ties or cable management accessories as needed. Verify network link status on connected devices to confirm proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For best long-term performance, avoid tight bending radii and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or oils. Use the red colour to segregate critical or specific network segments, and replace the cable if the sheath or connectors show visible damage.
