Patch Cable Solarix C5E-111GY-2MB UTP CAT5E 2m Grey

The Solarix C5E-111GY-2MB UTP CAT5E 2m flat patch cable is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. This 2 meter grey cable features a low-profile flat construction that eases routing in constrained spaces and reduces bundle thickness inside patch panels and cable ducts. The LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer sheath minimizes harmful smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where safety and code compliance matter.

Advantages

The flat cable design reduces space consumption in racks and allows neat routing along walls, under carpets, or through narrow channels. Molded, non-snag connectors provide a secure mechanical connection and minimize pair crosstalk at the plug. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable electrical connection and corrosion resistance. The LSOH jacket combines safety with a neutral grey appearance suitable for professional environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within home or office local area networks
• Use in patch panels and high-density RJ45 port equipment where low profile cables are required
• Under-desk, along baseboards or routed through narrow pathways
• Indoor installations requiring LSOH materials for reduced smoke and halogen emissions

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device (switch, router, or PC) and the other into the corresponding port on the patch panel or endpoint. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the flat cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; the low-profile design permits placement under carpets or along cable management channels. For best performance, keep the cable separate from power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit operation, use the cable for short to medium runs within the recommended 2 m length and avoid kinking. When installing in high-density panels, orient the flat side to minimize space usage and confirm secure seating of the molded connector to prevent accidental disconnection.
