Network Cable LANBERG PATCHCORD KAT.5E UTP 1.5M White

The LANBERG PATCHCORD KAT.5E UTP 1.5M in white is a category 5e unshielded twisted pair network cable intended for Ethernet connections where reliable data transmission and easy routing are required. At 1.5 metres long, the cable offers a balance between reach and neat cable management for home, office or rack-mounted equipment. The UTP construction reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference in typical indoor environments while the white jacket provides a discreet appearance suited to light-coloured walls and equipment.

Advantages

This LANBERG CAT5e patchcord supports standard Ethernet speeds up to those defined for category 5e cabling and is suitable for common network topologies. The 1.5 m length gives flexibility when connecting desktop devices, switches or patch panels without excess slack. The white outer sheath improves concealment and aesthetic integration into office or residential setups. The cable is supplied as a patchcord with factory-terminated connectors for immediate use.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers and networked peripherals to switches or wall sockets
• Patching between switch ports and patch panels in small server cabinets
• Home networking where short to medium cable runs are needed
• Temporary or permanent desktop and office installations requiring tidy cable runs

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded CAT5e cable is not designed for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) would be preferable. It is also not intended for long-distance backbone links or applications that require higher category performance such as 10 Gbps Ethernet over long runs; for those scenarios use higher-category (Cat6/Cat6a) cables and appropriate infrastructure.

Key specifications

• Category: 5e (CAT5e)
• Type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Colour: White
• Terminations: Factory-terminated RJ45 patchcord
• Typical use: Ethernet patching and device connection

How to use

Connect one end of the LANBERG CAT5e patchcord to the network device (PC, switch, router or wall outlet) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from power cables and sources of strong electromagnetic noise for optimal signal quality. For structured cabling, use cable management accessories such as cable ties or horizontal managers to maintain tidy runs.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify required cable length and whether 1.5 m suits your layout
• Confirm that CAT5e performance meets your network speed requirements
• Assess whether an unshielded cable is acceptable for your installation environment
• Check connector compatibility with existing RJ45 ports

Usage recommendations

For typical home and small office networks, use this LANBERG CAT5e 1.5 m patchcord for short device connections and patching. Keep runs short, avoid electromagnetic interference sources, and replace with higher-category or shielded cabling when planning future upgrades to higher bandwidths or when installing in electrically noisy environments.
