Patch Cord, DATACOM, 1511, RJ45, UTP Cat5e, 1M, Black

The DATACOM patch cord UTP Cat5e 1M in black is a shield-free Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local area networks. It comes terminated with standard RJ45 connectors on both ends and offers a compact 1-metre length that fits common desktop, rack and wall-mounted installations. The cable is intended for use with networking equipment that supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at Cat5e performance levels.

Advantages

This UTP Cat5e patch cord provides consistent signal transmission for copper-based networks and maintains connector compatibility with common RJ45 ports. The 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter while allowing flexible placement of devices. The black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates into office and home environments. Durable terminations and quality conductor construction contribute to reliable connectivity and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within an office or home LAN
• Patch panel to switch connections in network racks
• Linking IP phones, access points or networked printers
• Short-distance desk or wall outlet connections where 1 m length is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable category: UTP Cat5e
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black
• Suitable for: Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet at Cat5e performance
• Conductor type: Copper (stranded for flexibility)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to link until the connector latch clicks into place. For rack-mounted equipment, route the 1 m cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it alongside high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch before pulling to prevent damage to the plug or port.

Usage recommendations

Use this patch cord for short, neat connections where a 1 m length reduces surplus cable. For permanent or outdoor installations, select a cable rated for the specific environment. If you require higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider cables with higher categories or shielded constructions.
