Network Cable Digitus CAT 5e U/UTP RJ-45 RJ-45 3m Grey

The Digitus Network Cable CAT 5e U/UTP RJ-45 to RJ-45, 3 m, is a Category 5e patch cord designed for structured cabling and Ethernet connections up to 100 MHz. The cable uses copper conductors and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, with a transparent blue plug for easy identification of Category 5e. It is PoE ready and available in a grey jacket, suitable for office, server room or home network installations.

Advantages

Manufactured and tested to ISO/IEC 11801 and DIN EN 50173 Category 5e specifications, this Digitus CAT 5e patch cord provides compliant channel performance up to 100 MHz including characteristics such as near-end crosstalk (NEXT). The molded boot includes kink protection, strain relief and a latch protector to reduce the risk of connector damage. Copper conductors and copper-plated contacts ensure good conductivity and long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet connections
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your network devices such as switches, routers or computers. Ensure the latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; the molded boot with strain relief and kink protection helps protect the connector. For PoE devices, verify that your power source and device support PoE before use.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and keep bend radius above manufacturer recommendations. Use Category 5e cabling for networks and devices that require up to 100 MHz performance; for higher frequencies consider upgrading to Category 6 or higher.
