Patch cord DIGITUS CAT 5e U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 10 m, yellow

DIGITUS CAT 5e U/UTP patch cord is a 10 m unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for Category 5e networking. The cable supports performance up to 100 MHz and is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and other network devices in offices, data rooms or homes. The yellow jacket provides simple visual identification and the molded boots include kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce wear and accidental connector damage.

Advantages

This DIGITUS Cat 5e U/UTP patch cord is manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, ensuring compliance with channel requirements and consistent performance characteristics such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT) up to 100 MHz. The transparent colored connector indicates Category 5e compatibility while the durable molded boot with strain relief and latch protection improves mechanical reliability during repeated use and installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in LAN environments
• Patch panel to network device links in server rooms
• Desktop or office workstation network connections
• Temporary cabling and structured cabling where color coding is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP), Category 5e
• Rated frequency: up to 100 MHz
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or computers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; use the molded boots as protection points. For installation in racks or conduits, leave service loops to prevent tension on the connectors and avoid placing heavy objects on the cable.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use this Cat 5e patch cord within structured cabling channels rated for Category 5e/class D and keep cable runs under recommended lengths for specific network protocols. Use color-coded cables like this yellow patch cord to simplify network organization and maintenance. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.
