Patch cable NETRACK Cat5e U/UTP, 2 m, yellow, RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts

NETRACK Cat5e U/UTP patch cable, 2 m, yellow, with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts is designed for Ethernet and LAN connections in homes, offices and server racks. The cable meets Cat5e performance requirements for data rates up to 1 Gbps over short distances and provides a compact, flexible connection between computers, switches, routers and other network devices. The yellow jacket makes cold- or hot-swapping and cable identification simple in patch panels and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The patch cable offers reliable signal transmission with U/UTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts that reduce corrosion and ensure consistent contact resistance. Its 2 m length balances reach and cable management for desktop or rack-mounted equipment while the flexible sheath allows easy routing in tight spaces. The bright yellow colour improves visual identification of network segments and simplifies troubleshooting in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to switches or routers
• Patch panels and short horizontal cabling in offices and data closets
• Temporary or permanent link between network devices in home networks
• Color-coded cable management and identification in small to medium installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e U/UTP suitable for Fast Ethernet and short-range Gigabit links
• Length: 2 m for short patch runs and desktop connections
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Conductor arrangement: Unshielded (U/UTP) twisted pairs
• Jacket colour: Yellow for visual identification
• Flexibility: Flexible sheath for routing in confined spaces

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure both ends are seated firmly and avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to maintain performance. Use the 2 m length to connect nearby equipment such as a desktop computer to a wall outlet, switch or router, or to create a short patch between panel ports in a rack.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the patch cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts are compromised. Use colour-coded patch cables like this yellow NETRACK Cat5e to simplify network mapping and reduce downtime during maintenance.
