Network Cable DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 2M blue

The DATACOM patch cord UTP cat5e 2M blue is a 2-meter unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable engineered for standard Cat5e network connections. Designed to link computers, switches, routers and patch panels, this blue patch cord provides a straightforward physical connection for fast data transmission in home and office networks. The cable construction reduces crosstalk and preserves signal integrity to support common Ethernet applications.

Advantages

This UTP Cat5e patch cord combines a flexible jacket with consistent pair twisting to maintain signal quality across its 2 m length. Its connector terminations are compatible with RJ45 ports used in networking equipment, enabling plug-and-play installation. The blue cable color simplifies cable management and identification within network racks and workspaces, while the durable outer sheath improves resistance to bending and wear during routine handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs or laptops to a local network switch or router
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office racks
• Home network setups including modems, routers and smart devices
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet runs where 2 m length is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: blue
• Connectors: RJ45 on both ends
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper conductor suitable for patching (verify packaging for conductor detail)
• Rated for Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T over short runs

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network device (router, switch, or PC network port) and the other end into the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. When routing through cable management, allow gentle curves and avoid compressing the cable under heavy objects.

Usage recommendations

Use this DATACOM Cat5e patch cord for standard Ethernet connections where 2 m length meets layout needs. For permanent in-wall installations or environments with high electrical interference, consider shielded cables or higher-category cabling. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if you observe performance issues or physical wear.
