Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 1M blue

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 1M blue is a one-meter unshielded twisted pair network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. It supports high-speed data transmission over short distances and offers a compact, flexible solution for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices where space is limited. The blue jacket provides easy visual identification in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cord offers consistent performance for 100BASE-TX and Gigabit Ethernet at short link lengths, with a flexible PVC outer jacket that resists kinks and is suited for frequent plug-and-play use. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable signal transfer, while the UTP construction maintains signal integrity through twisted conductor pairs. The cable’s 1 m length reduces excess slack and clutter in patching panels and desktop connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or switches
• Patching between switches and patch panels in racks
• Linking routers, modems and network printers within a single room
• Temporary test and commissioning of network ports

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of the device and the other into the switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm secure engagement. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and pinching; maintain gentle curves and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For rack installations, use cable management panels to keep the 1 m patch cord tidy and accessible.

Usage recommendations

Use this patch cord for short-distance fixed connections and testing. Do not subject the cable to heavy mechanical stress, prolonged outdoor exposure, or temperatures outside typical indoor operating ranges to maintain performance and longevity.
