DIGITUS CAT 5e U/UTP Patch Cable, RJ45, 0.5 m, Yellow, PVC, Gold-Plated Contacts, Gigabit Ethernet DK-1512-005/Y

Short cable runs often suffer from stiff, over-length patch leads that create clutter and strain connectors. This 0.5 m yellow Cat 5e patch cable solves that by delivering a tidy, reliable link between network devices in tight spaces—patch panels, switches, or wall outlets—without excess slack. Its U/UTP design and stranded copper conductors keep it flexible for daily handling, while gold-plated RJ45 plugs ensure consistent signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet.

Who is it for

Network technicians, office administrators, and home users who need a short, dependable Ethernet connection for high-density setups, server rooms, or desktop links. Ideal for connecting a PC to a wall port, a switch to a patch panel, or any device within half a metre.
