Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e U/UTP patch cord RJ45 Cat5e 15m Grey

The Digitus CAT 5e U/UTP patch cord is a high-quality network cable designed to provide reliable and stable data transmission for various networking environments. With a length of 15 meters, this cable is engineered to meet the stringent ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e standards, ensuring optimal performance for your local area network. The cable features a durable copper conductor and is fully PoE ready, making it a versatile solution for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network-enabled devices.

Advantages

This patch cord offers superior build quality, featuring a molded boot that provides essential kink protection and strain relief to prevent damage during installation or movement. The integrated latch protection ensures that the connector remains secure and prevents the latching lever from breaking, which significantly increases the lifespan of the cable. Additionally, the use of a transparent blue connector allows for quick and easy identification of the Category 5e standard, simplifying cable management in complex network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall outlets or switches
• Linking network routers and modems
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications
• Home and office local area network installations

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for Category 5e performance levels up to 100 MHz and may not be suitable for high-bandwidth applications requiring Gigabit or 10-Gigabit speeds over long distances, such as Cat 6a or Cat 7 standards. It is also intended for indoor use and is not shielded against extreme electromagnetic interference, which might be a concern in industrial environments with heavy machinery.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 meters
• Category: Cat 5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• Frequency: Tested up to 100 MHz
• Color: Grey with transparent blue connectors
• Features: PoE ready, kink protection, strain relief, latch protection

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device until you hear a click. The latch protection mechanism ensures a secure fit. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can affect signal integrity. When disconnecting, gently press the latch protection tab to release the plug from the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific installation to avoid excess cable clutter.
• Ensure your network equipment supports the Cat 5e standard for optimal compatibility.
• Check if your environment requires shielded (FTP/STP) cables to prevent signal interference.

Usage recommendations: For the best performance, avoid running the cable near high-voltage power lines or fluorescent lighting. Keep the cable away from sharp edges and ensure it is properly routed to prevent tripping hazards.
