Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M green

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.25M green is a short Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections where devices are close together. Compliant with Cat5e standards, this UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) patch cord supports typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet signaling within its specification range, and its compact 0.25 m length reduces excess cable clutter in patch panels, desktop setups, or network appliances. The green jacket provides visual identification in multi-cable environments and helps organise connections in small office or home networks.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP patch cord offers stable data transmission for short link runs with low crosstalk characteristics inherent to unshielded twisted pair design. The short 0.25 m length minimises signal attenuation and keeps cable runs tidy behind switches, routers and patch panels. A moulded strain relief and standard RJ45 terminations ensure secure connector fit and reduce wear from repeated insertion. The coloured outer jacket simplifies port identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment within racks, patch panels and switch ports over short distances
• Desktop connections between PCs, VoIP phones and network switches
• Patch wiring in small office, home lab or server cabinet environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45, 8P8C
• Jacket colour: green
• Conductor type: copper (solid or stranded depending on variant)
• Typical applications: 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T over short runs

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm secure connection. Use this 0.25 m patch cord for direct short links where excess cable length would be undesirable. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not place heavy objects on the cable to preserve performance and connector integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results in structured cabling, match cable category to the rest of the network infrastructure and use the green colour to mark specific circuits or zones. If longer runs are required, select a higher length or appropriate category cable to maintain signal quality.
