Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M black

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M black is a short, flexible network cable designed for connecting network devices where space is limited. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat5e cable supports standard Ethernet speeds and provides a compact, low-profile connection solution for patch panels, switches, routers and network equipment in home or office environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cord offers stable data transmission with reduced crosstalk thanks to its twisted-pair design. Its 0.25 meter length minimizes cable clutter and keeps connections tidy in dense rack or desktop setups. The black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance and the molded connector boots help protect the RJ45 plug from damage and wear during frequent insertion and removal.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in server cabinets or wall outlets
• Short point-to-point links between devices on a desk or in a communications closet
• Home networking where compact cable runs are required
• Temporary or permanent connections in small office environments

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat5e, suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over short runs
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Black
• Connector: RJ45 plug on both ends with molded boots
• Conductor: Stranded copper for flexibility

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use this 0.25 m cable for short links where minimal slack is required, such as patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet connections. Avoid bending the cable sharply at the connector and keep the cable run within its mechanical limits to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this DATACOM Cat5e patch cord in clean, dry environments and avoid routing it near high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear or damage. For longer runs or environments with significant interference, consider using higher category or shielded cables.
