Network patch cord Gembird RJ45 Cat.5e UTP 0.25 m grey

Gembird RJ45 Cat.5e UTP 0.25 m grey is a short unshielded twisted-pair patch cord designed for reliable local network connections. With Cat.5e performance and molded RJ45 connectors, this 0.25 m cable provides stable contact and low attenuation for short runs between devices such as patch panels, switches, routers and desktop equipment. The compact length reduces cable clutter and is intended for situations where only a minimal distance needs to be bridged.

Advantages

The cable supports Category 5e signal specifications, enabling Fast Ethernet and practical Gigabit performance over short distances. Molded RJ45 connectors ensure consistent electrical contact and strain relief at termination points. The UTP construction keeps the cable lightweight and flexible while meeting common office and home networking requirements. Its short length minimizes excess cable, improving rack and desktop organization.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels to switches in dense rack environments
• Linking switches to nearby routers or network appliances
• Short desktop connections between PCs and wall outlets
• Temporary test setups and equipment bench connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male, molded
• Conductor: stranded copper for flexibility
• Jacket colour: grey
• Suitable for Fast Ethernet and short-run Gigabit links

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the device ports until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable to bridge closely positioned equipment such as switch ports, patch panel jacks and router interfaces. Avoid sharp bends or kinks near the connector ends and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. For permanent installations, ensure connectors are fully seated and strain on the cable is minimized.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 0.25 m Cat.5e patch cord when you need a neat, short connection between nearby network devices. For longer distances or installations requiring improved noise immunity, consider higher category or shielded cables.
