Patchcord UTP Cat5e 1 m, ART, red

ART Patchcord UTP Cat5e 1 m in red is an unshielded twisted-pair network cable engineered for short Ethernet connections where Cat5e performance is required. The 1 metre length and flexible jacket make this patchcord suitable for connecting switches, patch panels, routers and wall outlets inside homes, offices and data cabinets. The red colour provides visual identification for network runs and helps organise cabling in dense installations.

Advantages

This UTP Cat5e patchcord offers reliable data and voice transmission at speeds and bandwidth supported by the Cat5e standard. Its short length minimises signal attenuation for links inside racks or between adjacent devices. The flexible outer sheath allows easy routing through cable management accessories and tight spaces, and the consistent connector terminations ensure a secure fit in RJ45 ports.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch-to-switch short links
• Connecting routers, access points and wall outlets
• Office and home network wiring where colour-coded leads are needed
• Data cabinet cable organisation and labelled runs

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat5e performance
• Length: 1 m
• Connector: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Colour: Red
• Suitable frequency and bandwidth: conforms to Cat5e operational requirements for typical Ethernet applications
• Construction: multi-pair stranded conductors for flexibility

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other into the corresponding port on the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt to guarantee contact. Use the 1 m length for short point-to-point links and inside rack or cabinet layouts; avoid sharp bends and kinks to maintain performance. When installing multiple patchcords, route them through cable management channels or labels to keep runs organised and accessible.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e patchcord for connections within the same rack or between adjacent network equipment. Avoid exposing the cable to mechanical stress, excessive heat or fluids. Where higher performance or shielding is required (for example, Gigabit links over longer distances or environments with strong electromagnetic interference), consider using higher-category or shielded cables.
