Patch Cable CAT5e RB-LAN 1x 90° Angled U/UTP RJ-45 — 5 m, White

RB-LAN CAT5e patch cable, 5 m length, U/UTP construction with Cat5e standard, designed for Ethernet connections where one connector must sit flush against equipment or wall plates. The cable features a 90° angled RJ‑45 plug on one end and a straight RJ‑45 plug on the other, gold‑plated contacts and copper‑clad aluminium (CCA) conductors. The slim overmould with strain relief on the straight plug indicates the cable length and combined with a flexible PVC jacket provides mechanical protection for everyday network use.

Advantages

The angled RJ‑45 connector allows installation in tight spaces without bending the cable sharply, reducing stress on the plug and port. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability and resist corrosion, while the CCA conductors and Cat5e specification support stable signal transmission at Fast and Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The overmoulded strain relief and latch protection on the straight connector minimise the risk of connector damage during repeated plugging and unplugging.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers to wall outlets in confined or shallow installations
• Patching network equipment where space behind devices is limited
• Home and small office networks requiring Cat5e performance up to Gigabit Ethernet

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded)
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor type: copper‑clad aluminium (CCA)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 angled (90°) on one end, RJ‑45 straight on the other
• Contacts: gold plated
• Jacket: flexible PVC with overmoulded strain relief on straight connector
• Data rates: suitable for 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (Gigabit Ethernet)
• Color: white

How to use

Insert the angled RJ‑45 plug into the network port where space behind the device is restricted, and plug the straight RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding switch, router or wall socket. Ensure the latch on the straight connector engages securely; the latch protection helps prevent breakage when routing the cable. The cable is ready for immediate use—no configuration or tools are required for standard Ethernet connections.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high‑voltage power lines and maintain gentle bends with a radius larger than the cable thickness. Use the angled connector to reduce strain in confined installations and inspect connectors periodically for secure contact. While Cat5e supports Gigabit speeds, ensure connected devices and patching panels also support the required data rates.
