Patchcord TB Print Cat5e UTP RJ45 1 m black

TB Print Patchcord Cat5e UTP RJ45 1 m in black is a 1-metre Ethernet patch cable designed for standard Cat5e network installations. The cable uses unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) wiring and RJ45 connectors at both ends, providing a straightforward link between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets. Its Cat5e specification supports fast LAN connections and typical home or office networking needs.

Advantages

This Cat5e patchcord delivers reliable electrical performance for gigabit and lower-speed Ethernet, with a compact 1 m length that minimises cable clutter in patching areas and under desks. The UTP design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route, while the moulded RJ45 plugs ensure secure, low-loss contacts. The black jacket offers neutral appearance and easy visual integration into most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Patching between network ports on patch panels and wall outlets
• Short runs in data cabinets, under desks or behind AV equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Length: 1 metre
• Conductor material: copper conductors (solid or stranded typical for patchcords)
• Jacket colour: black
• Application: Ethernet LANs up to Cat5e performance, suitable for 1000BASE-T

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until a click confirms the latch is engaged. Use the cable to link network devices such as a computer to a switch port, or to make a patch between a switch and a patch panel. For best results avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; allow gentle curves and keep the cable clear of sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Usage recommendations

For stable gigabit performance, ensure connectors are fully seated and network ports are configured for auto-negotiation. Keep the 1 m patchcord for short connections; for longer runs choose appropriately rated in-wall or trench cabling following installation standards.
