DSIT CAT5e Network Cable U/UTP 0.5m Grey 100% Copper RJ45

Reliable CAT5e network patch cable with 100% copper conductors, delivering stable Gigabit Ethernet connectivity over short distances. The unshielded U/UTP design and stranded 26 AWG wires provide flexibility and easy installation in tight spaces. Grey PVC jacket blends into office environments, while gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure corrosion resistance and consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

This cable is built with pure copper conductors, not copper-clad aluminium, ensuring superior conductivity and lower resistance for reliable data transmission. The 0.5-metre length reduces clutter and signal loss, making it ideal for connecting devices in close proximity. The U/UTP construction minimises crosstalk without the bulk of shielding, keeping the cable lightweight and easy to route. Gold-plated contacts provide a durable, low-oxidation connection that maintains performance over many mating cycles. The stranded conductors enhance flexibility, allowing the cable to bend without breaking, which is perfect for patch panel and workstation use.
