Network patch cable Logo RJ-45 to RJ-45 Cat5e U/UTP, grey, 3 m

Logo RJ-45 to RJ-45 Cat5e U/UTP patch cable, 3 m, grey, provides a straightforward connection solution for Ethernet links in home and small office networks. The unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) construction and Category 5e specification support data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps over typical link lengths, while standard RJ-45 plugs ensure compatibility with network devices such as computers, switches, routers and patch panels. The cable’s 3 meter length offers flexibility for desk, rack and wall-mounted installations without excess slack.

Advantages

The cable combines Category 5e performance with standard RJ-45 terminations to deliver reliable 100/1000 Mbps connectivity for common Ethernet applications. Unshielded U/UTP design makes the cable lightweight and easy to route in cable trays and behind furniture. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance that integrates into most office and residential environments, while the 3 m length balances reach and neatness in typical setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small racks
• Home network device links (set-top boxes, NAS, media players)
• Temporary or permanent cabling in home and small office environments

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network interface port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click fully to confirm a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tension; maintain a gentle bend radius and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e U/UTP patch cable for standard Ethernet connections where Gigabit speed is required but additional shielding is not necessary. For environments with significant electromagnetic interference or where higher category performance is needed, consider shielded or higher-category cabling.
