DSIT CAT5e U/UTP Network Patch Cable, 3m, Red, 100% Copper (DC-55-030)

Connect your workstation, router, or switch with this 3-meter red CAT5e patch cable from DSIT. Built with 100% copper conductors and U/UTP construction, it delivers reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance for office networks, home offices, and small server rooms. The stranded AWG 24/7 wires stay flexible for easy routing, while the PVC jacket resists everyday wear. Plug in and forget about dropped packets or slow file transfers.

Why choose it

Copper-clad aluminium (CCA) cables often cause signal loss and heat buildup under PoE loads. This DSIT cable uses pure copper conductors, so you get full power delivery and stable 1000BASE-T links. The red jacket makes it easy to identify critical connections in a crowded patch panel. It is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat3 equipment, so you can upgrade gradually without replacing every cable.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting PCs, laptops, and printers to a Gigabit switch
• Linking IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points with PoE
• Extending a router to a smart TV or game console
• Temporary setups at trade shows or training rooms

Good to know

Each cable is factory tested for wire mapping and performance. The stranded conductors withstand repeated bending, making the cable suitable for patch panels and desk grommets. For best results, avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than four times the cable diameter.
