Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e SF/UTP RJ-45 Cat5e 5m Grey

Future-oriented standards and high-end quality for your network. The DIGITUS Category 5e Class D patch cord features a transparent blue plug with metal shielding for easy identification of Category 5e (100 MHz). The cable uses copper conductors and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). Designed and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, this patch cord provides performance up to 100 MHz, including parameters such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT). Each cable includes a molded boot with kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of latch breakage.

Advantages

The transparent blue colored connector allows quick recognition of Category 5e cabling. Metal shielding on the plug improves shielding integrity at the connector. Copper conductors ensure reliable signal transmission and the patch cord is PoE ready for powering compatible devices. Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief extend connector and cable durability, while the latch protector prevents accidental damage to the locking tab.

Key specifications

• Standard: ISO/IEC 11801, DIN EN 50173 (Category 5e, Class D)
• Frequency range: up to 100 MHz
• Connector color: transparent blue with metal shielding
• Conductor material: Copper (Cu)
• PoE: supported (PoE ready)
• Molded boot: kink protection, strain relief, latch protector

How to use

Connect the patch cord between network devices such as switches, patch panels or network ports on computers and routers. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks into place; the molded boot and latch protector reduce the risk of damage when connecting and disconnecting. Use appropriate cable management to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension that can affect performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, install and test the complete channel according to ISO/EN specifications and avoid exceeding the 100 MHz frequency range. Store and route cables to prevent tight bends and mechanical stress; inspect connector latches periodically for wear.
