Network Cable Natec NKA-0349 Patchcord Cat.5e 15m Black

The Natec NKA-0349 Patchcord Cat.5e 15m in black is a shieldless twisted-pair cable designed to provide reliable wired network connections for home and office environments. With a 15-metre length, this Cat.5e patch cable supports Ethernet speeds typical for Cat5e specifications and is intended for linking switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets where a stable wired connection is required. The black exterior offers a discreet appearance and is constructed for regular installation and repositioning without compromising signal integrity.

Advantages

This Cat.5e patchcord combines sufficient length with standard Category 5e performance to support common networking needs. Its flexible jacket and molded connectors simplify routing and plugging in tight spaces. The cable is compatible with typical RJ45 network ports and provides consistent transmission for data, voice and basic video-over-IP applications. The black finish reduces visible wear and suits mixed equipment racks and office setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, network printers and VoIP phones to switches or wall outlets
• Linking routers and switches in small office or home networks
• Patching between patch panels and network devices in server cabinets
• Temporary or permanent cabling where 15 m length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Length: 15 m
• Color: Black
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Configuration: Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Typical use: Ethernet networking (10/100/1000 Mbps compatible within Cat5e limits)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on your devices until the clip clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points, and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to minimise interference. For rack or wall installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips at intervals to prevent strain on connectors. Test the connection with network diagnostic tools or by verifying link/activity LEDs on connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain gentle bend radii, avoid kinking the cable, and replace the patchcord if connectors show visible damage or degraded connection indicators. Use this Cat.5e cable for typical Ethernet applications; if you require higher guaranteed performance for multi-gigabit links or future-proofing, consider selecting a higher-category cable.
