UTP Patch Cable Cat.5e Secomp S1419, 20 m, beige

Secomp S1419 UTP patch cable Cat.5e in beige, 20 m length, is a flexible unshielded twisted pair cable designed for Ethernet network patching and horizontal cabling where Category 5e performance is required. The cable is terminated with standard RJ45 plugs and intended for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and wall outlets in home and office LAN environments. Its 20 m length covers mid-range runs for desktop or equipment connections without additional joiners.

Advantages

The UTP Cat.5e construction provides reliable data transmission for up to 1000BASE-T networks within the limits of Category 5e performance. The flexible jacket makes routing and cable management simpler in racks, under desks or through conduits. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network hardware and simplify deployment in existing structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and IP phones to switches and routers
• Patching between patch panels and network switches in small office LANs
• Extending wall outlet connections to networked devices in homes and offices
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where Cat.5e performance is sufficient

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded Cat.5e cable is not suitable for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable (STP/FTP) is recommended to reduce crosstalk and noise. It also does not provide Cat6 or higher performance for applications that require greater bandwidth or future-proofing to 10GBASE-T over longer distances.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 20 m
• Color: beige
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Suitable network speeds: up to 1 Gbps (within Cat5e limits)
• Typical use: horizontal cabling, patching

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router, computer or patch panel) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device or wall outlet. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation; maintain the recommended bend radius for twisted pair cables to preserve signal integrity. For neat installation, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties and avoid running parallel to power lines for long distances.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat.5e performance meets your current and near-future bandwidth needs
• Decide if unshielded cable is acceptable for your environment or if shielded cable is required
• Confirm that 20 m length is appropriate to reach between your devices without additional couplers

Usage recommendations

Use this Secomp Cat.5e patch cable for typical office and home LAN connections where reliable gigabit Ethernet is needed and electromagnetic interference is low. For installations near heavy electrical equipment or where higher bandwidth is planned, consider shielded or higher-category alternatives.
