Network patch cable TB Print Category 5e UTP RJ45 2m black

TB Print Category 5e UTP RJ45 patch cable, 2 meters, black, is a network patch cord designed for standard Ethernet connections in home and office environments. The cable uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction and RJ45 connectors to support data transmission at Category 5e performance levels. Its flexible outer jacket and 2 m length make it suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and workstations within rack or desktop setups.

Advantages

This Category 5e UTP cable provides reliable signal transmission for typical LAN applications while remaining cost-effective. The RJ45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play connectivity with most Ethernet devices. The 2 m length balances reach and cable management in equipment areas, and the flexible black jacket allows routing through desk openings and cable trays without excessive stiffness.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or workstations to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections within a rack or cabinet
• Small office and home network wiring where Cat5e performance is sufficient
• Temporary or permanent horizontal connections up to 2 m

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not shielded and therefore not intended for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cables (STP/FTP) are recommended. It is specified to Category 5e performance; for multigigabit or future-proof installations requiring Category 6 or higher performance characteristics, choose a higher-category cable.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• Category: Cat5e performance
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 2 meters
• Color: Black
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN patching and device interconnect
• Outer jacket: Flexible for routing in typical office/desk environments

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or patch panel and the other into the Ethernet port of the target device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For tidy cable management, route the cable along cable trays or behind furniture, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. If installing in a rack, allow slack to prevent strain on connectors and use ties or Velcro straps to group cables neatly.

What to consider before purchase

• Required network performance: Cat5e supports up to 1 Gbps in typical conditions
• Environment: choose shielded cable if high EMI is present
• Length needed: verify 2 m is sufficient for your setup
• Connector compatibility: RJ45 is standard for Ethernet devices

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the connection after installation using network diagnostics or link LEDs. Avoid routing the cable near power lines or fluorescent fixtures to reduce interference, and replace any cable that shows visible damage or connector issues.
