Patch cord Cabletech UTP Cat 5e, 10 m

Cabletech Patch cord UTP Cat 5e, 10 m is a copper unshielded twisted-pair patch cable designed for Ethernet and general network connections up to Cat 5e specification. This 10-meter cable provides a reliable physical link between switches, routers, patch panels, wall sockets and network devices in office or home local area networks. The cable supports data and voice transmission across standard 10 m runs while maintaining Cat 5e performance characteristics for typical 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (where supported by installation) environments.

Advantages

The Cabletech UTP Cat 5e patch cord combines flexible stranded copper conductors with a PVC jacket for easy routing and handling in patch panels and cable management systems. Its unshielded twisted-pair construction reduces electromagnetic interference for standard installations without the need for additional shielding. The 10 m length offers extended reach for linking equipment across rooms or larger cabinet arrangements while preserving signal integrity within the Cat 5e performance class.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers to patch panels or wall sockets
• Office and home LAN cabling for data and voice
• Temporary or permanent workstation connections where 10 m length is required
• Patch bay and rack-mounted equipment interconnections

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat 5e performance class
• Length: 10 meters
• Conductor material: Copper (stranded)
• Jacket material: PVC
• Connectors: RJ45 terminated on both ends
• Typical use: Ethernet, data and voice transmission

How to use

Route the Cabletech UTP Cat 5e patch cord between the two network ports you intend to link, ensuring both ends are fully inserted into the RJ45 sockets until they click. Avoid tight bends and pinch points; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with the cable construction, and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power lines to reduce interference. For installations in patch panels or racks, secure excess length using cable management ties or rings to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For reliable network performance, verify that connected equipment supports Cat 5e requirements and test the completed link with a cable tester if guaranteed throughput is required. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage, and avoid running UTP cables in parallel with high-voltage power cables over long distances to minimize potential interference.
