Patch cord Cabletech Cat5e UTP 0.5 m — Cabletech KPO4011-0.5

Cabletech Cat5e UTP patch cord, 0.5 m, is a factory-terminated Ethernet cable intended for short patching runs and tidy cable routing in office or home networks. The ready-made cable features RJ45 plugs on both ends and meets Cat5e performance for fast Ethernet and standard network applications. Its compact length makes it suitable for connections between switches, routers, patch panels and workstations where a minimal cable footprint is required.

Advantages

The Cabletech Cat5e UTP patch cord offers reliable signal transmission for typical LAN speeds and reduces installation time since it comes pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors. Its stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing in patch panels and tight spaces, while the short 0.5 m length helps keep racks and desks tidy and reduces excess cable clutter. The UTP design is compatible with standard unshielded Ethernet infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Linking switches and patch panels within racks and cabinets
• Connecting routers, modems and network devices over short distances
• Patch connections between wall outlets and workstations
• Temporary or permanent short-length network connections in offices and homes

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor type: stranded copper for flexibility
• Connector type: RJ45 plugs on both ends
• Compatible with: 10/100 Mbps Ethernet and typical Cat5e network deployments
• Construction: factory-terminated patch cord for immediate use

How to use

Insert one RJ45 plug into the network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug into the corresponding port on the destination device or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the clip clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.5 m patch cord for short-distance links to maintain neat cable runs; avoid stretching the cable or bending it sharply near the connector. For best results, match the cable category with existing infrastructure and ports rated for Cat5e performance.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cabletech Cat5e UTP patch cord for close-proximity connections where flexibility and minimal slack are required. Avoid routing alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference, and replace the cable if connectors or the jacket show visible damage.
