Patch cord, EB1118899312 U/UTP Cat5e stranded 0.25 m, 26 AWG

Patch cord EB1118899312 U/UTP Cat5e stranded 0.25 m, 26 AWG is a short Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable connections in compact installations. The cable uses unshielded twisted pairs (U/UTP) with stranded 26 AWG conductors and a 0.25 m length, making it suitable for linking switches, patch panels, wall ports and network devices where minimal cable slack and flexible routing are required. The construction supports Cat5e signaling and typical Ethernet speeds supported by that category.

Advantages

The stranded 26 AWG conductors provide increased flexibility for routing in racks and tight spaces compared with solid cores, while the U/UTP design offers standard performance for Cat5e networks. The short 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and crosstalk potential in dense patching areas. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports and patch panels.

Подходит для

• Коротких соединений между коммутаторами и патч-панелями
• Подключения сетевых интерфейсов в стойках с ограниченным пространством
• Соединения устройств в телекоммуникационных шкафах и рабочих станциях
• Организации аккуратной кабельной коммутации в серверных и офисных помещениях

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e U/UTP
• Conductor type: Stranded 26 AWG
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Pairs: 4 twisted pairs (unshielded)
• Intended use: Short patching and device-to-device connections

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or NICs. Ensure connectors are fully seated until a click is heard and data link LEDs indicate a connection. Avoid sharp bends near the cable ends and do not stretch the cord; maintain a gentle bend radius to prevent damage to the stranded conductors. For best results, route the patch cord alongside other cables or through horizontal managers to keep the installation tidy.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.25 m Cat5e U/UTP patch cord for short-distance patching in racks, cabinets and workstations where flexibility and minimal slack are required. Do not use in environments requiring shielded cabling or where higher category performance (e.g., Cat6/6A) is needed. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace if pins or housing are compromised.
