Network Cable DATACOM Patch Cable 3m RJ45 Cat5e Gray

The DATACOM Patch Cable 3m RJ45 Cat5e Gray is a 3-meter unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable with RJ45 connectors designed for standard Ethernet connections. Engineered to support Cat5e performance, the cable delivers reliable data transmission with a bandwidth capability up to 100 MHz. Its gray jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and office installations while the molded connector ends offer strain relief for regular plugging and unplugging.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable combines a balanced conductor pair design and consistent impedance to reduce crosstalk and maintain signal integrity over its 3-meter length. The RJ45 connectors are gold-plated to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The flexible outer jacket eases routing in tight spaces and helps prevent kinking, while the robust connector molding extends the cable's usable life under typical use conditions.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and printers to a router or switch
• Linking network switches and patch panels in small office or home setups
• Temporary or permanent cabling for VoIP phones and IP cameras
• Basic Ethernet setups requiring up to 100 Mbps or supporting Gigabit over short distances where Cat5e is acceptable

Key specifications

• Length: 3 meters
• Cable category: Cat5e (UTP)
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Bandwidth: up to 100 MHz
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper
• Jacket color: gray

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices you wish to connect, such as a router, switch, or computer. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or sharp edges and use cable organizers or ties if needed to maintain tidy installation. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or unshielded power cables.

Usage recommendations

Use this DATACOM Cat5e patch cable for typical home and small office networking where Cat5e performance meets the bandwidth and reliability requirements. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or connector shows visible damage. For length runs beyond 3 meters or for installations requiring higher noise immunity, consider higher-category cabling or shielded alternatives.
