Patch cord DATACOM UTP cat5e 2M white

The DATACOM UTP Cat5e patch cord, 2 meters in white, is a network cable intended for reliable Ethernet connections between devices in home and office environments. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design supports data transmission at speeds suitable for common LAN tasks while keeping the physical profile compact for easy cable management. The cable features molded RJ45 connectors and a flexible PVC jacket that balances durability and bendability for typical installation scenarios.

Advantages

The cable provides stable connectivity with reduced crosstalk thanks to Cat5e specifications and twisted pair construction, offering reliable performance for standard networking needs. At two meters length it gives sufficient reach for patch panels, switches, routers and end devices without excess slack. The white jacket maintains a discreet visual profile in residential or office interiors, and the molded connector strain relief improves connector longevity under repeated plugging and movement.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops, printers and networked peripherals to switches and routers
• Patching between network equipment in small office racks and patch panels
• Temporary or permanent wired connections in home networks and workstations
• Replacing or extending existing Cat5e cabling within short runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45, molded with strain relief
• Conductor material: copper conductors (solid/stranded depending on variant)
• Jacket material: PVC, white
• Typical use: Ethernet networking up to 1000BASE-T in short runs

How to use

Connect one end of the patch cord to the RJ45 port of your device and the other end to the network switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until you hear a click and avoid sharp bends near the connector area to prevent damage to the internal pairs. For optimal signal quality, keep the cable run away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power wiring.

Usage recommendations

For consistent network performance, use this Cat5e patch cord for connections within the specified two-meter range and replace cables that show visible damage to the jacket or connectors. When installing in crowded panels, label both ends to simplify management and testing. If longer runs or higher bandwidth are required, consider upgrading to higher category cabling.
