Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M blue

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M blue is a short, unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections over short distances. With a 0.25 meter length and Cat5e performance class, this blue patch cord supports typical local network installations where devices are close together, such as connecting a switch to a patch panel, a router to a modem, or linking equipment within a rack. The UTP design reduces cost and complexity while delivering the data rates expected from Cat5e cabling.

Advantages

The cable provides stable signal transmission for standard Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications within its intended length. Its compact 0.25 m length minimizes cable clutter and improves tidy rack or desktop setups. The blue sheath gives visual identification for easier cable management, and the modular RJ45 connectors are compatible with common networking ports. The unshielded twisted pair construction offers adequate crosstalk suppression for Cat5e-rated performance.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in server racks, patch panels and network switches
• Connecting desktop devices to nearby wall ports or network equipment
• Temporary test setups and laboratory network benches
• Home and small office Ethernet links where short cable runs are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 0.25 m
• Color: Blue
• Connector: RJ45 modular plugs on both ends
• Applications: 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T (within standard attenuation limits for short runs)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the first device and the other end into the second device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. Use this 0.25 m patch cord for close-proximity connections where a short, reliable link is needed; avoid stretching or sharply bending the cable near the connectors. For rack installations, route the cable through appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use the DATACOM Cat5e 0.25 m patch cord for short, high-density cabling scenarios to reduce excess slack and improve organization. When deploying multiple cables, color-code and label each run for easier maintenance. Avoid running UTP cables parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimize potential interference.
