UTP cable MONTIS MT114-10, Cat5e, 10 m

UTP cable MONTIS MT114-10, Cat5e, 10 m is a Category 5e unshielded twisted pair patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections over short to medium distances. This 10-metre cable supports 100BASE-TX networks and common voice-over-IP (VoIP) setups and is suitable for structured cabling in homes, offices and small business environments. The cable is intended for connecting routers, switches, network interface cards and patch panels to create stable data links for everyday networking tasks.

Advantages

The UTP Cat5e cable delivers consistent performance for 100 Mbps Ethernet and typical home or office data rates, with impedance and pair twisting optimized for reduced crosstalk. Its unshielded design simplifies installation where shielded cabling is unnecessary, and the 10 m length provides flexibility for device placement without excess slack. The cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and common network equipment, making it a convenient option for straightforward patching and point-to-point links.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers to switches or modems in home and office networks
• Linking computers and network interface cards to local network switches
• Patch connections between wall outlets and patch panels in structured cabling
• VoIP phone connections and other Ethernet-based telephony devices

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 10 metres
• Supported network standard: 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps)
• Typical use: Patch cable for Ethernet and VoIP
• Connector type: RJ45 compatible termination

How to use

Plug one RJ45-terminated end into the network device (router, switch, or NIC) and the other end into the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to maintain a secure electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges and sources of electromagnetic interference to preserve signal integrity. For permanent installations in cable trays or conduits, follow local building and cabling standards.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the UTP cable in parallel with power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter; check termination quality if connections are intermittent. Use Cat5e cable for 100 Mbps networks and consider higher-category cable (Cat6 or above) only when higher bandwidth or future-proofing is required.
