Networking Cable ShiverPeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 0.1m Black Silver

The ShiverPeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 0.1m Black Silver is a short, high-quality networking cable designed for compact installations and close-proximity connections. With a total length of 0.1 m and one-to-two RJ45 termination, this Cat5e cable supports standard Ethernet signals and is suitable for linking devices where space is limited or where a short patch lead is preferred. The black and silver jacket combines a discreet appearance with a protective outer layer to withstand routine handling in office or home network setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides reliable signal transmission for fast Ethernet applications within its specification range. Its very short length reduces cable clutter and minimizes signal attenuation, while the molded RJ45 connectors ensure secure contact and ease of insertion. The compact form factor and neutral colour scheme make it unobtrusive when used behind equipment racks, in PoE injectors, or between closely spaced network ports.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices in tight spaces
• Connecting switches, routers or patch panels to adjacent ports
• Linking devices where only a brief cable run is needed, such as in desktop or server rack setups
• Temporary or permanent connections in home or small office networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e, suitable for Fast Ethernet and typical Gigabit LAN segments within Cat5e limits
• Length: 0.1 m (10 cm)
• Connectors: 1x RJ45 to 2x RJ45 termination configuration
• Conductor type: multi-strand copper (standard for flexible patch leads)
• Jacket colour: black with silver accents
• Typical use: patch cord for short-distance data connections

How to use

Insert the primary RJ45 plug into the source device port and connect the two RJ45 outputs to the destination devices or ports. Ensure all connectors are fully seated until the retention tab clicks to guarantee a stable electrical connection. Avoid bending the cable at sharp angles near the connector; allow gentle curves to maintain conductor integrity. For professional environments, route the cable to minimize contact with moving parts and to reduce mechanical strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat5e cable when a concise, low-profile connection is required. Do not exceed the intended cable length for critical long-distance links; for longer runs, choose an appropriate category and length. Inspect connectors periodically for physical damage and replace the cable if pins or jackets are compromised.
