Network Cable Extralink LAN Patchcord Kat.5e RJ-45 F/UTP 10m Black

The Extralink LAN Patchcord Category 5e is a high-performance network cable engineered for stable and reliable data transmission in various networking environments. Measuring 10 meters in length, this cable provides the necessary reach for connecting devices across rooms or within office setups. It features robust F/UTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring that your data signals remain clear and consistent. The cable is terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, making it compatible with a wide range of networking hardware.

Advantages

This patchcord offers exceptional flexibility, allowing for easy routing and installation in tight spaces or complex cable management systems. The use of pure copper conductors ensures high conductivity and supports the Power over Ethernet (PoE) standard, enabling you to power compatible network devices directly through the cable. The gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide superior contact quality and long-term durability, preventing signal degradation over time. Its shielded construction is specifically designed to protect against external noise, making it a dependable choice for maintaining network integrity.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches, and modems
• Linking desktop computers or laptops to wall outlets
• Connecting VoIP phones to a network
• Patch panel switching in IT cabinets
• Powering PoE-enabled devices such as IP cameras or access points

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for high-speed data requirements exceeding the Category 5e standard, such as 10Gbps networks, where Category 6a or higher would be necessary. Additionally, the 10-meter length may be excessive for simple desktop connections, potentially leading to cable clutter if not managed properly.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding type: F/UTP
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Conductor material: Pure copper
• Color: Black

How to use

To use the Extralink patchcord, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or pinched by furniture, as this can damage the internal wires and affect performance. When connecting devices, ensure both ports are clean and free of debris to maintain a solid connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length to ensure 10 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your devices support the RJ-45 interface
• Confirm if your network environment requires shielded (FTP) cabling to avoid interference
• Assess whether your equipment requires PoE support

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the network cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Always store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid pulling the cable by the cord itself when disconnecting.
