ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH Stranded Patch Cable Ivory 100m

ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable on a 100 m reel, ivory/beige colour, designed for indoor network installations. The cable has LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket and stranded copper conductors arranged in four colour-coded pairs. Shielding is provided by aluminium foil (F/UTP) to reduce external interference while maintaining flexibility for routing and termination.

Advantages

The stranded conductor construction offers greater flexibility compared with solid-core cables, simplifying installation in patch panels, wall mounts and conduit. LSZH jacket reduces toxic halogen emissions and smoke density in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor, public or confined spaces. Aluminium foil shielding improves signal integrity by protecting pairs from electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching (CAT5E) in offices and data closets
• Flexible patch leads between equipment and patch panels
• Indoor structured cabling where LSZH is required

How to use

Cut required cable length from the 100 m reel, strip the outer jacket to expose the four twisted pairs, and terminate each conductor following the chosen wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Use appropriate RJ45 plugs or keystone jacks rated for stranded conductors and F/UTP cables. Secure the cable in trays or conduits and avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling force during routing.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain proper bend radius (typically no less than 4× cable diameter), avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and use connectors and patch panels compatible with stranded CAT5E F/UTP cable. Follow local building codes for LSZH requirements in public or confined spaces.
