Network cable A-LAN KKU5SZA2 U/UTP Cat5e 1 m, AWG 26/7, 100 MHz, RJ-45 male–male, grey, PVC jacket

The Alantec KKU5SZA2 U/UTP Cat5e network cable, 1 meter in length and gray in color, is designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. This Cat5e cable supports standard Ethernet speeds and is suitable for connecting routers, switches, computers and other network devices where a short, dependable link is required. Its unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) construction provides balanced performance for typical local area network installations.

Advantages

The cable offers stable data transmission for Ethernet networks up to Cat5e specification, with a compact 1 m length convenient for tidy setups and short-distance connections. The gray jacket provides neutral appearance that blends into most environments while protecting the internal conductors. Being U/UTP, the cable is lightweight and flexible, which simplifies routing in constrained spaces and reduces strain on device ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting a router to a nearby switch or modem
• Linking a desktop computer or laptop to a local network port
• Short patch connections in wall outlets or patch panels
• Temporary or permanent connections in home offices and small business networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (meets Cat5e performance for up to 1000 Mbps in typical deployments)
• Type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Conductor: multi-strand or solid copper conductor appropriate for patch cable use
• Color: gray jacket
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends (standard 8P8C modular plugs)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or modem and the other RJ45 connector into the device requiring network access. For best performance ensure connectors click fully into place and avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable length. Use the 1 m cable for close-proximity connections to reduce excess cable slack and improve cable management around desks or network racks.

Usage recommendations

Place the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference (large transformers, unshielded power cables or heavy electrical equipment) for optimal signal integrity. For structured cabling, label both ends and avoid stretching the cable; maintain bend radius recommendations of the connected equipment to preserve performance.
