Cavo patch ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH trefolo avorio 500m

The ACT CAT5E F/UTP LSZH stranded patch cable in ivory (beige) is a 500 m reel designed for reliable Ethernet data transmission in homes, offices and installation environments. The cable combines stranded copper conductors with an F/UTP ALU foil shield and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket to reduce toxic fumes and corrosive gases in case of fire.

Advantages

Stranded copper wires provide flexibility and ease of routing in patch panels and equipment racks. The F/UTP ALU foil shield improves protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions for safer use in enclosed spaces. The 500 m length on a reel is suitable for larger installations or bulk deployment.

Suitable for

• Ethernet patching and horizontal cabling in office and residential networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• Installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required

How to use

Measure and cut the required cable length from the reel. Strip the outer LSZH jacket carefully to expose the four twisted pairs. Terminate the stranded conductors to compatible RJ45 connectors or punch down onto patch panels designed for stranded cable, following the CAT5E wiring standard (T568A or T568B). Avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables during installation. Use proper cable management such as trays or ties to prevent mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this CAT5E F/UTP LSZH cable for short to medium-length patch runs and connections within buildings. Prefer T568B or T568A wiring consistently across the installation and keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources. Verify compatibility of RJ45 connectors with stranded conductors and test completed links with a network cable tester.
