Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.5M blue

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 0.5M blue is a short Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable wired network connections where devices are located close to each other. This unshielded twisted pair (UTP) Cat5e cable supports standard Ethernet data rates and is intended for use in home and office environments. The 0.5 meter length reduces excess cabling and keeps installations neat, while the blue jacket helps with visual identification in patch panels and network runs.

Advantages

The cable offers a compact 0.5 m length that minimizes clutter and signal degradation over short runs. Compliance with Cat5e UTP specifications ensures adequate performance for common Ethernet applications. Clear color coding simplifies cable management and identification. The cable's RJ45-terminated connectors provide straightforward plug-and-play connectivity with network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer, switch or router to a nearby wall outlet or patch panel
• Short links in server racks and equipment cabinets
• Home networking between media devices and broadband modems
• Temporary test connections and network diagnostics

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Color: Blue
• Intended use: Ethernet networking for short-distance connections

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device (for example, a computer, switch or router) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the wall outlet, patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors click into place to secure the connection. For best results, avoid bending the cable sharply near the connectors and route it to prevent strain or pinching.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e patch cord for short, indoor Ethernet runs where a neat, easily identifiable blue cable is preferred. Avoid outdoor exposure, high-interference environments requiring shielded cable, or distances beyond the cable's recommended short-run use.
