4World RJ45 Patch Cord, Cat 5e UTP, Molded Boot, 0.5 m, Gray

The 4World RJ45 patch cord is a reliable Cat 5e UTP network cable engineered for stable data transmission in local area networks. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this gray cable is designed to provide a secure connection between various networking hardware components. It features a molded boot that offers enhanced strain relief, protecting the connector and cable from damage during frequent plugging and unplugging.

Advantages

This patch cord offers consistent performance for standard networking tasks, ensuring reliable data transfer speeds suitable for Cat 5e requirements. The molded boot design significantly increases the durability of the cable by preventing the wires from bending at sharp angles near the connector. Its compact 0.5-meter length is perfect for reducing cable clutter in server racks, patch panels, or desktop setups where devices are in close proximity.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to wall outlets
• Linking switches and routers in small network cabinets
• Connecting network devices within a single rack
• Home and office local area network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance connections due to its short 0.5-meter length. It is also not suitable for environments requiring shielded cabling, as it is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, which may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference in industrial settings with high electrical noise.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 5e
• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Connector type: RJ45
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Color: Gray
• Design: Molded boot for strain relief

How to use

To use the patch cord, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the network port of your device until you hear a distinct click, indicating that the locking tab is engaged. Ensure the cable is not pulled tight or bent at extreme angles to maintain signal integrity. When disconnecting, press the plastic locking tab down before gently pulling the connector out of the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 0.5 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your network environment requires shielded (STP) or unshielded (UTP) cabling
• Ensure the device ports are compatible with standard RJ45 connectors

Usage recommendations: Keep the cable away from sharp edges and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it to prevent internal wire damage. For optimal network performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines to minimize potential interference.
