Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord RJ45 Cat5e 1m Blue

The DIGITUS Network Cable CAT 5e SF/UTP Patch Cord (1 m, blue) is a Category 5e patch lead designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, this cable supports performance up to 100 MHz and includes PoE readiness. The transparent blue plug with metal shielding allows quick identification of Cat5e connectors while the molded boot provides kink protection, strain relief and latch protection to reduce the risk of connector damage.

Advantages

Constructed with copper conductors and SF/UTP shielding, the cable offers improved protection against external interference and maintains stable signal quality. Compliance with ISO & EN channel specifications ensures predictable performance in mixed cabling environments. The transparent blue connector simplifies visual identification of Category 5e cabling, and the molded boot increases connector durability with integrated kink and latch protection.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Office and home network installations
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices
• Short-distance horizontal and workstation cabling (1 m length)

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and insert the other end into the port of the target device. Ensure connectors click into place and that the molded boot’s strain relief is seated to avoid sharp bends near the connector. For network moves or reconfiguration, disconnect by pressing the latch protection and pulling the connector straight out to reduce stress on the clip.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m CAT 5e patch cord for short interconnects in clean, indoor environments. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines or in areas with excessive mechanical stress. For longer runs or higher bandwidth requirements consider higher category cables (Cat6/6A) if needed.
