Networking Cable LogiLink CAT5E U/UTP RJ-45 2m Grey

The LogiLink CAT5E U/UTP RJ-45 2m Grey is a 2-metre networking cable designed to support category 5e performance for wired Ethernet connections. It has RJ-45 connectors on both ends and U/UTP construction that reduces electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded cables. The cable’s grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that fits in home network setups and office installations while offering consistent data transmission over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This CAT5E cable supports up to 1000 Mbps network speeds under typical conditions and is appropriate for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat5e performance is required. The U/UTP design minimizes crosstalk and external interference without adding heavy shielding, making the cable flexible and easy to route in tight spaces. The RJ-45 terminations provide universal compatibility with network devices, switches, routers and patch panels that accept standard Ethernet plugs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment
• Wired connections for streaming devices, smart TVs and gaming consoles
• Temporary or permanent network runs within apartments, offices or meeting rooms

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Grey
• Application: Ethernet networking (Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet typical)

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, such as a router, switch or computer. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves around corners and secure with cable clips or ties if needed. After connecting, verify link lights on network devices to confirm the connection and check network settings on connected devices to ensure proper operation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances to reduce potential interference. Use the 2 m length for connections within a room or between adjacent racks; for longer runs, select a longer cable or structured cabling solutions. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if connectors or jacket are worn.
