ACT CAT5E U/UTP stranded patch cable red 305 m

ACT CAT5E U/UTP stranded patch cable in red, 305 m length, designed for Ethernet and other network installations. The cable contains four unshielded twisted pairs (blue/white, orange/white, green/white, brown/white) of stranded AWG24 copper conductors with a PVC jacket and an overall diameter of 5.6 mm, providing a flexible solution for horizontal and patching applications.

Advantages

The stranded AWG24 copper conductors and PVC sheath deliver flexibility for routing and frequent handling. Unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) reduce near-end crosstalk and support CAT5E performance for typical data and voice networks. The 305 m reel length minimizes joins in long runs and is suitable for structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching and horizontal cabling (CAT5E)
• Home and small office network deployments
• Flexible cable runs and patch panels

Key specifications

• Cable construction: 4 x 2 x 0.14 mm2 (stranded)
• Conductor: Stranded copper AWG24
• Pairs: Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Overall diameter: 5.6 mm
• Length: 305 m

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 305 m reel, strip the outer PVC jacket carefully without nicking the inner conductors, untwist pairs only as required by the connector termination standard, and terminate to RJ45 connectors or patch panels following CAT5E wiring color codes. Ensure proper cable management to avoid tight bends and excessive pulling during installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius (typically at least 4 times the cable diameter), avoid running parallel to power lines, and use appropriate testing tools to verify continuity and performance after installation.
