Network patch cable Telegärtner L00005E0000 Cat5e U/UTP RJ-45–RJ-45 10 m Black

Telegärtner L00005E0000 is a 10 m Cat5e network patch cable with U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is intended for Ethernet and LAN connections and meets Cat5e performance parameters for data networking. With a flexible PVC jacket and a standard 1:1 wiring scheme, this black patch cord is suitable for connecting patch panels, switches, routers and network outlets in home, office and data-cabinet environments.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat5e-class electrical performance for typical Ethernet networks up to 1000BASE-T, with U/UTP unshielded pair construction that reduces cost and simplifies installation in environments without significant electromagnetic interference. RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with common network devices and the 10 m length allows for versatile placement between wall outlets, patch panels and active equipment. The PVC outer jacket offers basic mechanical protection and flexible handling during routing and cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within office or home networks
• Patching between patch panels and network equipment in small racks or cabinets
• Ethernet installations that require Cat5e performance for 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 10 m length is appropriate

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP patch cable is not intended for installations exposed to strong electromagnetic interference sources or where shielded cabling is required to meet site-specific grounding and EMC policies. It is also not designed for outdoor use or direct burial; exposure to weather, UV or mechanical abrasion may degrade the PVC jacket and reduce lifespan.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Conductor structure: 4 twisted pairs, unshielded (U/UTP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Wiring: 1:1 standard (straight-through)
• Length: 10.0 m
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the patch cable to the network port of your device (PC, switch, router) and the other end to the corresponding port on the patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources. Use cable management components such as ties or horizontal managers to maintain organized runs and prevent strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that Cat5e performance meets your network speed requirements (up to gigabit speeds in typical setups)
• Confirm 10 m is the correct length for your planned routing and allow for slack for connectors and management
• For environments with EMI concerns or where grounding is required, consider shielded cable alternatives
• Check that PVC jacket and indoor rating match your installation environment (not rated for outdoor exposure)

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid tight bends (maintain bend radius at least four times the cable diameter), do not exceed recommended pull tension when installing, and periodically inspect connector ends for dust or damage. Use this Cat5e patch cable for typical indoor Ethernet connections where unshielded cable is acceptable.
