Networking Cable Lanberg PCU5-10CC-5000-S RJ-45 Cat5e 50 m Grey

The Lanberg PCU5-10CC-5000-S RJ-45 Cat5e 50 m Grey is a 50-metre networking patch cable designed for structured cabling and device connection in home and office environments. Built to Cat5e specification with RJ-45 terminations and U/UTP construction, this grey cable supports standard Ethernet connections and offers consistent signal transmission for typical local-area networking needs.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable data transmission for Fast Ethernet and common LAN applications. The RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. U/UTP construction helps to reduce external electromagnetic interference in typical indoor installations, while the 50 m length covers longer runs without the need for intermediate junctions. The neutral grey colour integrates discreetly into most environments.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between computers, switches and routers in offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet to device cabling in structured networks
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet runs where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Environments requiring a 50 m single-cable run without intermediate splicing

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e cable is not intended for environments requiring higher performance standards such as Gigabit-critical backbone links in demanding installations; for those, Cat6 or higher-rated cables are more appropriate. It may also be unsuitable for outdoor installations or areas exposed to moisture, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures unless additional protective conduit or outdoor-rated cabling is used.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 50 m
• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and connect each RJ-45 connector to the network ports on your devices, switches or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. For fixed installations, route the cable through cable management channels or raceways to prevent strain and to maintain signal integrity. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery that can cause interference.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat5e performance meets your network speed and bandwidth requirements.
• Confirm that a 50 m single run fits your planned cable routing without exceeding recommended maximum segment lengths for your equipment.
• Check whether indoor-rated U/UTP cable is acceptable for the installation location or if outdoor/armoured cabling is required.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the Lanberg Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections up to 1000 Mbps in typical office and home setups, keep cable runs tidy with proper strain relief and avoid sources of electrical interference to preserve signal quality.
