SOLARIX Flat Patch Cable CAT5E UTP LSOH 2m Gray RJ45

The SOLARIX Flat Patch Cable CAT5E UTP LSOH 2m Gray RJ45 is a reliable network solution designed to provide stable data transmission while optimizing space in high-density environments. Featuring a flat cable construction, this patch cord minimizes bulk in distribution boards and server racks, making it an excellent choice for complex networking setups. Built with quality materials and equipped with molded connectors featuring 50 µ gold contact coverage, it ensures secure connections and consistent performance for standard networking tasks.

Advantages

The flat design of this CAT5E patch cable allows for significantly improved airflow and cable management compared to round cables, effectively reducing clutter in tight spaces. Its specialized thin-profile molded protection ensures seamless compatibility with high-density patch panels and active network equipment without blocking adjacent ports. The inclusion of an LSOH sheath enhances safety by reducing the emission of smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where safety standards are a priority. Furthermore, robust construction guarantees a long service life and reliable signal integrity under regular operational stress.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and other network devices
• High-density patch panels and network distribution boards
• Office and home local area networks supporting 1000BaseT protocol
• Cable management setups where space-saving flat cords are required

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for industrial environments that require heavy-duty shielded cables to protect against electromagnetic interference, as this is an unshielded UTP cable. Additionally, the 2-meter length may be too short or too long for specific routing distances outside of standard rack or desktop configurations.

Key specifications

• CAT5E network category
• 1000BaseT protocol support
• 2 meters length
• Gray color
• Unshielded (UTP) design
• AWG 30 conductor (7 x 0.1 mm)
• Polyethylene insulation
• RJ45 to RJ45 connector type
• Molded protection
• LSOH outer sheath
• Operating and storage temperature range from -20 to 60°C
• Maximum operating humidity up to 93%

How to use

To use the patch cable, simply insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your active device, computer, or wall outlet, and the other connector into the corresponding port on a switch, router, or patch panel until the locking tab clicks securely into place. Ensure the cable is routed neatly without sharp bends or excessive pulling to maintain optimal signal performance and prevent physical damage to the conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2-meter length is appropriate for your specific distance requirements
• Check that your network equipment utilizes standard RJ45 ports
• Confirm whether an unshielded CAT5E cable meets your performance and environment requirements
• Ensure compliance with building safety regulations regarding LSOH sheath requirements

For best results, avoid running the flat patch cable near high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal interference, and ensure cables are not pinched by heavy office furniture or rack doors.
