Patchcord UTP Cat 5e 1 m gray — ACC CP0003

ACC Patchcord UTP Cat 5e 1 m gray (model CP0003) is an unshielded twisted-pair patch cable designed for Ethernet networks up to Cat 5e performance. The compact 1 m length is suited to short connections between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in racks, office workstations and home networks. The gray jacket provides neutral color coding for tidy cable management and easy identification in patching areas.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable data transmission at Cat 5e specifications, supporting typical fast Ethernet and gigabit network requirements over short runs. Its compact one-meter length reduces excess cable clutter in racks and patch panels. The UTP design offers a balance of performance and cost-efficiency for standard office and home installations, while the molded RJ45 connectors ensure consistent contact and strain relief for repeated plugging and unplugging.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or wall outlets in server racks
• Linking routers, modems and desktop network interfaces
• Short point-to-point connections at workstations and office desks
• Home networking between media players, smart TVs and routers

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 5e UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1 meter
• Color: gray
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded ends
• Performance: designed for Ethernet up to Cat 5e (including 1000BASE-T over short distances)
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath for patching use in racks and desks

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports (switch, patch panel, router or device) until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; secure excess length using cable ties or Velcro straps to maintain tidy cable management. For disconnection, press the connector latch and pull straight out to prevent damage to the plug or device port. The cable can be used for temporary or permanent patching where a 1 m reach is required.

Usage recommendations

Use the patchcord for short, in-rack or desk-level connections where a 1 m length minimizes slack. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines for extended distances to reduce electromagnetic interference. Inspect connectors periodically for wear if the cable is frequently reconnected.
