shiverpeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 networking cable Black Silver 0.1 m

The shiverpeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 networking cable Black Silver 0.1 m is a short patch cable designed for connecting network devices where a compact, low-profile link is required. With Cat5e performance and RJ45 terminations on each end, this 0.1 m cable provides a direct copper connection suitable for short-distance data transmission between switches, routers, patch panels or network ports on servers and workstations. The black and silver finish offers a discreet appearance that blends into professional equipment racks and desktop setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable delivers stable copper-based data transmission at typical Cat5e bandwidths and is built for minimal insertion loss across very short distances. The compact 0.1 m length reduces cable clutter and keeps connections tidy in dense rack or desktop environments. Its standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet devices without additional adapters. The black and silver colouring provides a neutral aesthetic that is suitable for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between adjacent network ports or equipment
• Linking switch ports to patch panels in crowded racks
• Connecting network interfaces on servers and workstations when minimal cable length is needed
• Temporary or permanent short-distance Ethernet links in office and home networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Length: 0.1 m
• Conductor type: copper (insulated conductors)
• Colour: black with silver connectors
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission for short distances

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable to directly connect adjacent ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network interface cards where a short, stable link is required. Ensure ports are powered and configured correctly on connected devices so that link LEDs indicate an active connection. When removing the cable, depress the connector latch before pulling to avoid damaging the plug or port.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this 0.1 m Cat5e cable in installations where minimal length is necessary to avoid excess slack and reduce cable management complexity. Avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or strong electromagnetic sources. Verify link speeds and duplex settings on connected devices if negotiating speed or connectivity issues arise.
