Network patch cable NETRACK BZPAT3UR Cat5e U/UTP Red 3 m RJ-45–RJ-45

NETRACK BZPAT3UR Cat5e U/UTP Red 3 m RJ-45–RJ-45 is a 3-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in office and home networks. Constructed to Cat5e specifications with U/UTP (UTP) design and standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this red cable provides a visible, physical link between networking equipment such as patch panels, switches, routers and desktop NICs. The cable supports standard data and voice transmission rates appropriate for Cat5e installations and is sized for short to medium interconnect runs.

Advantages

The NETRACK Cat5e cable offers consistent electrical performance for typical Ethernet use, with a flexible jacket that simplifies routing in racks and work areas. Its red colour improves traceability and visual management in multi-cable environments, helping technicians identify specific runs quickly. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common networking equipment and make the cable ready for immediate use without additional adapters.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting patch panels to switches in server rooms and telecommunications cabinets
• Linking switches and routers to workstations or desktop computers
• Short structured cabling runs within offices, meeting rooms and home network setups
• Colour-coded cable management for troubleshooting and network organization

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, patch panel or router) and the other RJ-45 connector into the destination device (switch, patch panel or computer). Ensure connectors click securely to confirm a proper mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain separation from power cabling where possible to reduce potential interference. For best signal quality, avoid stretching the cable and secure it with cable ties or management clips as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for short to medium-length Ethernet links within racks, cabinets and office spaces. Choose the red variant where visual identification or colour-coded cabling is required. For runs exceeding typical patch lengths or where higher bandwidth and future-proofing are needed, consider upgrading to Cat6 or higher category cabling.
