Ethernet patch cable Cabletech CAT5e UTP 2.0 m

Cabletech CAT5e UTP 2.0 m is an Ethernet patch cable designed for short, reliable network links between switches, routers, PCs and patch panels. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction meets Category 5e performance requirements, enabling voice and data transmission and supporting gigabit Ethernet where installed infrastructure and devices permit. The 2.0 m length is intended for desk-to-patch panel, device-to-switch and cabinet-to-equipment connections that require a compact, flexible cable.

Advantages

The Cabletech CAT5e UTP cable provides standardized performance for 1000BASE-T local networks while remaining flexible and easy to route in constrained spaces. Its unshielded design reduces cost and weight compared with shielded alternatives and is suitable for typical indoor environments where electromagnetic interference is not excessive. The 2.0 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in racks and under desks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels in small office or home installations
• Short links inside data cabinets and network racks
• Temporary setups for testing or provisioning network equipment

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Performance: supports up to 1000BASE-T (gigabit Ethernet) depending on network components
• Length: 2.0 meters
• Connector type: standard RJ45 on both ends
• Usage environment: indoor, structured cabling and patching
• Typical applications: voice and data transmission in LANs

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector firmly into the network port of your switch, router or device until it clicks. Use one end to connect the endpoint device and the other end to the patch panel or network switch. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; maintain a bend radius appropriate for twisted-pair cable to preserve signal quality. For best results, route the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, verify that connected devices and network infrastructure support 1000BASE-T and that patch panels and ports are terminated and tested to CAT5e standards. Replace cables showing visible damage or exposed conductors. Use cable management solutions to keep runs organized and to reduce mechanical stress on connectors.
