Network cable Gembird PP12-5M Cat5e, 5 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 10/100/1000Base-T(X), beige

Gembird PP12-5M is a 5-meter Cat5e patch cord with moulded strain relief and 8P8C (RJ-45) plugs. The cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks and features gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. Its beige color fits into home and office environments where a neutral appearance is preferred.

Advantages

The moulded strain relief reduces stress at the connector junction, increasing durability during repeated bending and handling. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion, helping to maintain stable network performance. The Cat5e specification provides sufficient bandwidth for typical wired Ethernet applications up to gigabit speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and laptops to routers or switches
• Wiring networked printers, IP cameras, and other office equipment
• Home network setups and small office cabling
• Short to medium length gigabit Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Connectors: RJ-45 (8P8C) with gold plating
• Cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Colour: Beige

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into the corresponding ports on your devices (router, switch, PC or other network equipment) until they click. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges that could damage the jacket or conductors. For best results, keep cable runs away from strong electromagnetic sources and secure the cable with clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable for indoor networking applications and replace it if the connector, jacket, or wiring shows visible damage. For runs longer than 100 meters or for environments requiring higher shielding or performance, consider using a higher category cable (for example Cat6 or shielded variants).
