ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH Stranded Patch Cable Black 500 m

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable is a 500 m black network cable intended for structured cabling and patching in indoor environments. It combines stranded copper conductors with F/UTP shielding and a LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket to reduce smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire while maintaining flexibility for patch panels and short interconnect runs.

Advantages

This CAT5E F/UTP cable offers balanced signal pairs with ALU foil shielding for improved protection against external interference, stranded copper for easier handling and routing, and an LSZH jacket for safer indoor use. The 500 m reel length minimizes joins for larger installations and the black colour provides a discreet appearance in office or cabinet environments.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networking at CAT5E performance levels
• Patch panels, switches and short cable runs between devices
• Indoor installations where low-smoke, halogen-free materials are required

How to use

Unwind the required length from the 500 m reel and cut cleanly before terminating with compatible RJ45 connectors or inserting into patch panels. Ensure proper cable preparation and pair preservation when crimping to maintain CAT5E performance. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; secure with appropriate clips or ties designed for network cabling.

Recommendations

Use this ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable for indoor data cabling and patching where LSZH material is specified; verify connector type and termination method prior to installation to ensure compatibility with intended equipment.
