Network Cable Vention VAP-B05-B100 RJ45 Cat5e 1m Black

The Vention VAP-B05-B100 RJ45 Cat5e 1m Black network cable is a shielded patch cable designed for stable and reliable Ethernet connections. With Cat5e specification and FTP shielding, the cable supports typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications over short runs, delivering consistent data transfer and reduced electromagnetic interference. Compact and flexible, the 1 metre length is suitable for connecting devices in close proximity, such as desktop computers, switches, routers and patch panels in home and office environments.

Advantages

This shielded Cat5e cable provides improved noise reduction compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment. The RJ45 connectors are precision-terminated to ensure secure contacts and minimize packet loss. The cable jacket is flexible yet durable for easy routing in tight spaces while resisting everyday wear. The 1 m length reduces excess cabling and clutter when connecting adjacent network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to a switch or router
• Patch panel to switch connections within a rack or cabinet
• Home office networking for streaming, video calls and cloud work
• Short-run links for gaming consoles or media players

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (enhanced performance for twisted-pair copper)
• Shielding: FTP (foil shielded twisted pair) to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Length: 1 metre
• Colour: Black
• Typical supported speeds: up to 1 Gbps for short runs depending on environment and equipment
• Conductor: stranded or solid copper depending on cable variant for flexibility and termination

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network port of your device and the other end to the corresponding port on a switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical connection. For patch panel installations, route the cable through the rack and insert the RJ45 plug into the appropriate patch-port. Avoid tight bends or kinks near the connectors to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within typical short-run distances (1 m) and in environments where FTP shielding helps reduce interference. Keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and avoid compressing it under heavy objects. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or conductors are compromised.
