ACT IB6501 Ivory 1 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT IB6501 Ivory 1 meter U/UTP CAT5E patch cable is a reliable network cable designed to establish fast and stable Ethernet data transmissions in home and office environments. Featuring a practical 1-meter length, this patch cord is ideal for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network peripherals over short distances. Equipped with standard RJ45 connectors on both ends, it ensures seamless compatibility with existing local area network infrastructure.

Advantages

This CAT5e patch cable utilizes full copper AWG 24 wires paired with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts to deliver consistent signal transmission and resistance to corrosion over time. The snagless design prevents the connector latch from catching or breaking during installation and removal, contributing to a longer lifespan in frequently reconfigured setups. Each cable undergoes 100% testing to meet strict performance standards, and the specifications are independently verified by a certification institute.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to local network routers or wall outlets
• Linking network switches and patch panels within small office setups
• Connecting smart TVs, game consoles, and media players to wired home networks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor installations or harsh industrial environments lacking weather protection. The 1-meter length is generally too short for routing network signals across large rooms, between different floors, or over long distances.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Cable shielding: U/UTP (UTP)
• Connector 1: RJ-45 Male
• Connector 2: RJ-45 Male
• Connector contacts plating: Gold (50µ)
• Wire material: Full copper AWG#24
• Product colour: Ivory

How to use

Plug one end of the RJ45 patch cable into the network port of your device, such as a computer or router, and insert the other end into the corresponding active network port or switch. Ensure the connector clicks securely into place. To disconnect, gently press down on the snagless latch and pull the connector straight out without twisting the cable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 1-meter cable length is sufficient for the physical distance between your connected devices.
• Check that your network equipment utilizes standard RJ45 ports and supports Cat5e transmission speeds.
• Confirm whether unshielded U/UTP cabling is appropriate for your environment, or if shielded cabling is required to counter high electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations: Avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and do not exceed the recommended minimum bend radius to prevent internal wire damage and maintain optimal network performance.
