DSIT CAT 5e U/UTP Network Patch Cable, 0.25 m, Grey, CCA, RJ45

Connect a laptop to a wall outlet in a cramped office or link a switch to a patch panel in a network cabinet—this 0.25 m DSIT CAT 5e patch cable handles tight spaces without excess slack. Its grey PVC jacket blends into desks and racks, while stranded CCA conductors keep the cable flexible for easy routing. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion and ensure a reliable link for everyday Ethernet connections.

Key specifications

• Data rate: up to 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T)
• Wiring: TIA/EIA-568B, 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket: PVC, grey
• Construction: stranded

Why choose it

Short patch cables reduce clutter and improve airflow in high-density setups. The CAT 5e rating supports Gigabit Ethernet, so it works with modern routers, switches, and PCs. CCA conductors offer a cost-effective alternative to solid copper for short runs, and the stranded design withstands frequent bending without breaking. The grey colour is neutral and easy to identify in a bundle.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting devices within a server rack or wall-mounted cabinet
• Linking a computer to a nearby network port or VoIP phone
• Organizing patch panels in small offices or home labs
• Temporary connections during testing or troubleshooting

Good to know

The cable is unshielded (U/UTP), so it is best used away from heavy electromagnetic interference. It meets TIA/EIA-568B wiring standards and is backwards compatible with older Ethernet speeds. For longer distances, consider a longer cable, but for 0.25 m this is a clean, reliable choice.
