ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patchkabel blauw 500 m kabellengte 500 m

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable in blue is a 500 m networking cable intended for structured cabling and patching. It features stranded copper conductors with four twisted pairs and an overall aluminum foil shielding, and the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emission for installations with higher fire-safety requirements.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5E performance with F/UTP (foil-shielded) protection to reduce electromagnetic interference. The stranded copper construction improves flexibility for use in patch panels and short connections. The LSZH outer sheath minimizes toxic and corrosive gases in the event of fire, and the 500 m reel length suits large runs and stock for installers.

Suitable for

• Structured LAN cabling and horizontal runs
• Patch panels and patchcord assemblies
• Office, data cabinet and equipment interconnects where flexibility is needed
• Installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT5E F/UTP (foil-shielded)
• Conductor: Stranded copper
• Pairs: 4 (Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and PVC indicated in technical data
• Shielding: Aluminum foil
• Length: 500 m
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Route the cable along cable trays or within conduits according to local installation standards. Terminate each conductor pair with appropriate CAT5E RJ45 connectors or keystone jacks, observing pair colour codes (Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White) and following T568A or T568B wiring as required. Use the foil shield termination at the connector or panel grounding point to maintain shielding continuity.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for indoor network installations where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile strain during installation; maintain bend radius recommendations from the manufacturer and separate from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
