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

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable in yellow is a 100 m networking cable designed for reliable wired data transmission in structured cabling. It combines stranded copper conductors with an ALU foil shield and an LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) outer jacket to reduce toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire while remaining flexible for installation.

Advantages

The cable offers flexibility due to stranded copper conductors and a 100 m reel length that suits longer runs without frequent joins. F/UTP shielding (ALU foil) improves resistance to external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded variants. The LSZH jacket minimises smoke and halogen emissions, making the cable suitable for installations where reduced toxic output is required.

Suitable for

• Horizontal and vertical network cabling in offices and data rooms
• Patch panels and switch connections
• Environments where low smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable standard: CAT5E
• Construction: F/UTP (foil-shielded, overall)
• Conductors: Stranded copper
• Pairs: Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White
• Outer jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Cable material: PVC, LSZH
• Length: 100 m
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Cut the required length from the reel and strip the outer jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs. Terminate each pair to compatible RJ45 connectors or punch down to patch panels following standard T568A or T568B wiring schemes. Ensure the foil shield is correctly grounded when connecting to shielded panels or equipment to maintain the F/UTP performance.

Recommendations

Use this ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded cable for indoor network installations where flexibility and reduced smoke/halogen emissions are important. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress during installation; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and support the cable on long runs.
