Patch cord CAT5E UTP 0.25 m (25 cm) – electro base patch cable, yellow

Short patch cord electro base CAT5E UTP, 0.25 m (25 cm) in yellow, designed for reliable Ethernet connections and tidy cable routing in confined spaces. This compact unshielded twisted-pair cable is intended for short interconnects between patch panels, switches, routers and network devices in racks and wall-mounted enclosures. It supports standard 10/100 Mbps networks and provides a practical solution when length, flexibility and clear colour coding are required.

Advantages

The CAT5E UTP construction ensures consistent signal transmission for Fast Ethernet applications while keeping cost and complexity low. The short 25 cm length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in network racks. A flexible jacket and standard RJ45 terminations allow quick insertion and removal from ports, and the yellow colour makes identification and segmenting of connections straightforward.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports on switches and patch panels
• Short device-to-device connections in racks and cabinets
• Cabling in confined spaces where excess cable would obstruct airflow
• Colour-coded network layouts for easier maintenance and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E
• Topology: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Length: 0.25 m (25 cm)
• Supported speeds: 10/100 Mbps
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Typical use: Ethernet patching and short interconnects

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on the network device until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the 0.25 m patch cord to link adjacent ports on switches, routers or patch panels, avoiding unnecessary cable loops. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull gently on the plug body to remove. Verify link status on devices to confirm a successful connection.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this short CAT5E patch cord for intra-rack connections and situations where minimal cable length reduces clutter. Avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic sources or running it tightly bent beyond manufacturer bend radius to maintain signal integrity.
