Patch cable UTP Cat.5e Secomp S1405, beige, 5 m

Secomp S1405 is a 5 m UTP Cat.5e patch cable in beige, designed for standard Ethernet networking. The cable provides Cat5e performance for LAN connections and is suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and end devices in office or home environments. With unshielded twisted‑pair construction and molded RJ45 connectors, the cable fulfils common wiring needs where Cat5e bandwidth and signal integrity are required over short to medium patch runs.

Advantages

The Secomp S1405 patch cable offers reliable Cat5e data transmission and consistent impedance for stable network links. Its 5 m length covers most desk-to-rack and inter-rack connections without excess slack. The beige jacket provides a neutral appearance for installation in mixed cabling environments, while molded connector boots reduce strain at the plug and help prolong connector life.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, VoIP phones and printers to network switches or wall outlets
• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch connections in small server cabinets
• Home network setups linking routers, modems and media devices
• Temporary or permanent office cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This Cat5e UTP cable is not intended for environments that require shielded cabling to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI), such as industrial sites with heavy machinery or areas with high RF noise. It also does not support higher-grade Cat6/Cat6a performance or 10 Gigabit Ethernet over longer distances—those applications require cables rated for the higher category.

Key specifications

• Cable category: UTP Cat.5e
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ45, molded boots
• Conductor type: twisted pair, unshielded
• Jacket colour: beige
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN patching (100BASE-TX and Gigabit over short distances)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port on your switch, router or network device until it clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, pinching or contact with sharp edges, which can degrade performance. For best results keep the run length appropriate for Cat5e applications and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. If multiple patch cables are installed in a cabinet, use cable management to maintain order and airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 5 m covers your connection without excess slack
• Whether Cat5e performance meets current and near-future network speed requirements
• Need for shielded cable or higher category (Cat6/Cat6a) in noisy or high‑speed environments
• Compatibility with device ports and preference for jacket colour for aesthetic or identification reasons

Usage recommendations

Use this Secomp Cat.5e patch cable for typical office and home network patching tasks. For installations requiring long-term futureproofing for multi-gigabit speeds or for electromagnetic noise-prone environments, consider upgrading to a higher category or shielded cable.
