0.5m Black Cat5e Snagless RJ45 Patch Cable
Connect compatible Ethernet equipment with a 0.5m black Cat5e UTP patch cable featuring male RJ45 connectors, 24AWG stranded copper conductors, snagless boots and moulded strain relief.
Key features
Reliable Cat5e Ethernet
Uses 100% copper conductors for reliable Gigabit 1Gbps connections and supports 2.5/5Gbps NBASE-T over shorter compatible links.
24AWG copper with PoE support
Stranded 24AWG copper conductors support compatible Power over Ethernet applications, including up to 100W when the complete system meets IEEE 802.3bt requirements.
Snagless moulded boots
Protective boots help prevent the RJ45 locking clips from catching or breaking, while moulded strain relief reduces sharp bending at the terminations.
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts
Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and corrosion to help maintain dependable conductivity and reduce avoidable signal loss.
What to know
A compact lead for short network links
The 0.5m length helps reduce excess cable around patch panels, switches, hubs and nearby workstations, while the black jacket supports visual identification.
Built for common RJ45 equipment
Use the male-to-male Cat5e patch lead with workstations, switches, hubs, patch panels and compatible network devices, provided the equipment and installation require this cable category, wiring type and length.
