ACT zwart 1 meter LSZH F/UTP CAT5E patchkabel gekruist met RJ45-stekkers

ACT Black 1 meter LSZH F/UTP CAT5E Cross RJ45 is a 1 m patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance network connections. The cable uses F/UTP (foil-shielded twisted pair) construction and an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath to limit smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Contacts are plated with 50 µin gold for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared to unshielded cables, improving data integrity in environments with potential noise. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety in confined or public spaces by producing less smoke and no halogenated gases during combustion. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent connectivity and lower contact resistance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in offices or server rooms
• Patch panels and network racks where short cable runs are required
• Environments that require low-smoke, halogen-free cabling (public buildings, transportation)

Key specifications

• Cable type: F/UTP (foil-shielded twisted pair)
• Category: CAT5E (cross/straight compatible)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Conductor size: AWG 26
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold
• Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Boot colour: Red; Cable colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as computers, switches or routers until the latch clicks. For cross-connection use in specific legacy setups, use this cable where a crosswired CAT5E is required; otherwise it functions as a standard patch cable. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for CAT5E standards, avoid kinking or excessive pulling force, and ensure terminations and ports are clean before connecting. Use LSZH cabling where low smoke and halogen-free properties are specified by building or safety codes.
