Network Cable Neutrik NKE5E-E1E1-M0020 RJ45 Ethernet Cable 20m Black

The Neutrik NKE5E-E1E1-M0020 RJ45 Ethernet Cable 20m Black is a 20-meter network cable designed to create reliable wired Ethernet connections between devices. It features a standard RJ45 termination and a robust outer jacket in black, providing a balance of flexibility and mechanical protection for installations in homes, studios, offices, and event setups. The cable is intended for high-speed data transfer over local area networks where a long, stable physical link is required.

Advantages

This Ethernet cable offers consistent signal integrity across its 20 m length and durable construction that resists everyday wear. The black outer sheath conceals the internal conductors for a neat appearance and helps protect against abrasion. The standardized RJ45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels, computers, audio-visual gear, and other Ethernet-enabled equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, network switches, and routers in offices and home networks
• Linking audio-visual equipment and networked media devices in studios and event rigs
• Permanent or semi-permanent runs in server rooms, racks, and patch panels
• Temporary network setups for exhibitions, presentations, and live events

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Color: black outer jacket
• Cable construction: shielded or unshielded twisted pair (see product labelling for exact variant)
• Intended use: Ethernet / LAN data transmission
• Mechanical properties: flexible jacket suitable for indoor routing and cable management

How to use

For typical use, plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, such as a router, switch, computer, or networked AV equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve reliable link lights and data transmission. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; secure with cable ties or management clips when installed in racks or along walls. If used in permanent installations, label both ends for easier maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Avoid running the cable near high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For outdoor or direct-burial requirements, select a cable specifically rated for exterior use. Regularly inspect connectors and the jacket for damage and replace the cable if the integrity of the conductors or shielding is compromised.
