LogiLink Flat Cat.5e U/UTP Patch Cable, RJ45, 0.5 m, Black

In a crowded network cabinet, a technician replaces a failed patch cord with this LogiLink flat Cat.5e cable. The slim black jacket slips easily between other cables, and the short 0.5 m length keeps the connection tidy. It links a patch panel to a switch, carrying Gigabit traffic without errors.

Key specifications

• Category 5e performance, U/UTP unshielded twisted pair
• Flat cable design for easy routing under carpets or along walls
• RJ45 male connectors on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m, colour: black
• Conductor: 28 AWG copper-clad aluminum (CCA), PVC jacket
• Supports 10/100/1000Base-T networks, bandwidth up to 100 MHz
• Wired to TIA/EIA 568B, 1:1 pinout

Why choose it

The flat profile reduces clutter and prevents kinks, while the short length is ideal for neat patch fields. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion, ensuring reliable connections over time. It meets Cat.5e standards, so it handles Gigabit Ethernet without the cost of higher categories.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to switches in racks
• Linking patch panels to network devices
• Home or office setups where space is tight
• Temporary connections for testing or troubleshooting

Good to know

The cable is unshielded (U/UTP), so avoid running it near strong electromagnetic interference. The CCA conductors are lightweight and economical, suitable for short runs. For best performance, keep the cable away from sharp bends and heavy foot traffic.
