Patch cord electro base CAT5E UTP LSZH 0.25 m (25 cm)

The Patch cord electro base CAT5E UTP LSZH 0.25 m (25 cm) is a short Ethernet patch cable intended for reliable local connections in data and voice networks. With CAT5E performance and an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, this 25 cm cable is suited for patch panel links, switch-to-switch or switch-to-device connections where only short distances are required. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable appropriate for indoor installations in occupied spaces.

Advantages

The cable combines standard CAT5E data rates with a compact 0.25 m length to minimize excess cabling and improve rack or desk neatness. UTP construction offers sufficient performance for many office and home networks while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route. The LSZH outer jacket increases safety in enclosed environments by limiting smoke and halogen release during combustion. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide corrosion resistance and stable signal contact over repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch connections in network racks
• Short links between desktop devices and wall outlets
• Server cabinet patching where space is limited
• Office and home Ethernet installations requiring CAT5E performance

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use this 0.25 m patch cord for short point-to-point links inside racks, behind network equipment, or between adjacent ports on patch panels and switches. Avoid tight bending at the connector entry and do not stretch the cable beyond its working length to preserve performance and connector integrity.

Usage recommendations

For best results, route the cable with gentle curves and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce electromagnetic interference. Select the 0.25 m length when you need tidy, low-profile connections in cabinets or on desktops; choose longer CAT5E or higher-category cables if longer runs or increased shielding are required.
