Patch cable ElectroBase K8456.50-Orange UTP CAT5E 50m Orange

The ElectroBase Patch Cable K8456.50-Orange UTP CAT5E 50m Orange is a 50-meter unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for structured cabling and Ethernet connections. Its CAT5E specification supports standard fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet over suitable distances, while the bright orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify and trace within cable bundles or server rooms. The cable is intended for use in typical home and office network installations where a reliable, flexible link is required between switches, patch panels, routers and wall outlets.

Advantages

The cable combines a 50 m length with a flexible jacket and consistent CAT5E performance to provide a straightforward solution for longer runs without intermediate patching. The orange outer sheath improves visibility during installation and maintenance, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection. As a UTP product, the cable offers compatibility with a wide range of network hardware and standard RJ45 connectors when terminated appropriately.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers within a network rack
• Wiring office workstations and VoIP phones to wall ports
• Temporary or permanent runs in small-to-medium sized networks
• Color-coding and identification of network segments in crowded installations

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Category: CAT5E
• Length: 50 meters
• Color: Orange
• Typical use: Ethernet networking (100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T where supported)
• Jacket: flexible PVC (typical for patch cables)

How to use

Measure and plan the cable route to avoid sharp bends and sources of electromagnetic interference. Run the cable between network devices and terminate each end with compatible RJ45 connectors or use pre-terminated patch cords and patch panels as required. Ensure connectors are properly crimped and test each link with a network cable tester to verify continuity and correct wiring order before placing the cable into service.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the patch cable parallel to power lines for extended distances and keep bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use the orange color to document and separate different network zones, and replace cable if the jacket or conductors are visibly damaged.
