Network Cable DATACOM Patch Cable 1.5m RJ45 CAT5E Gray

The DATACOM Patch Cable 1.5m RJ45 CAT5E in gray is a UTP network cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. With a length of 1.5 metres and RJ45 terminations, this CAT5E cable supports typical home and office networking needs by providing stable data transmission at speeds suitable for Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit deployments in short runs. The gray jacket offers a neutral appearance that blends into most workspaces while the construction focuses on reliable contact and reduced interference.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable features unshielded twisted pair wiring that reduces crosstalk and maintains consistent signal quality over its 1.5m length. The molded RJ45 connectors ensure secure plug-in connections and strain relief to extend connector life during repeated insertions. The cable’s flexible outer jacket simplifies routing and installation in confined spaces and behind equipment racks. The neutral gray color makes cable management discreet in both residential and commercial environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, laptops and desktop workstations to routers or switches
• Linking network switches to patch panels or other switches in short runs
• Connecting IP phones, printers or networked AV equipment
• Temporary cabling for events, testing or equipment reconfiguration

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded boots
• Jacket color: gray
• Application: Ethernet networking (supports 100 Mbps and suitable for many Gigabit applications over short distances)
• Construction: 4-pair UTP, twisted pairs to reduce crosstalk

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device (for example a computer, IP phone or printer) and the other connector into a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until you hear a click to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight kinks; maintain gentle curves to preserve signal integrity. For installations in racks or behind desks, use cable ties or routing channels to keep the cable organized and prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines or large bundled cables that may introduce electromagnetic interference. For permanent installations requiring higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider CAT6 or higher category cabling. Inspect connectors occasionally for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connector shows visible wear.
