Network Cable DATACOM UTP patch cord cat5e 0.25M yellow

The DATACOM UTP patch cord cat5e 0.25M yellow is a short, unshielded twisted pair cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in compact installations. With Cat5e performance, the patch cord supports high-speed data transmission for typical home and office networks while its 0.25 m length keeps cable runs tidy in patch panels, switches, and wall outlets. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility and identification in cable bundles and rack environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e UTP patch cord delivers stable signal transmission with low crosstalk and consistent impedance, suitable for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T networks within short runs. The compact 0.25 m length reduces excess cable clutter and improves airflow around networking equipment. A flexible outer sheath and reliable RJ45 terminations ensure straightforward installation and long-term durability in typical indoor conditions.

Suitable for

• Short connections between patch panels and switches in server racks
• Linking network devices in crowded workstations or multimedia cabinets
• Temporary or permanent small-distance Ethernet connections in offices and homes
• Colour-coded cable management and quick visual identification in structured cabling

• Length: 0.25 m
• Conductor: 4-pair copper conductors
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the DATACOM Cat5e patch cord between the two network ports to be connected, ensuring both RJ45 plugs are fully inserted until they click. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve cable performance. For rack installations, use colour-coded routing and secure excess slack with Velcro ties or cable management panels. No special tools are required for use when the cable is factory-terminated.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this 0.25 m Cat5e patch cord for short, intra-rack or desktop connections rather than long cable runs. Keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables. Replace the cord if the jacket or connector latches are damaged to maintain reliable network links.
