Networking cable GEMBIRD PP22-20M Cat5e 20 m RJ-45–RJ-45 beige, gold-plated contacts

GEMBIRD PP22-20M Cat5e is a 20 m FTP networking cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable supports Cat5e performance for Ethernet and LAN connections and is intended for wired network links between switches, routers, PCs and other network devices. The beige jacket provides a low-contrast appearance for installations in homes and offices while the foil shielded twisted pair (FTP) design reduces electromagnetic interference in typical indoor environments.

Advantages

The cable offers gold-plated connector contacts to improve conductivity and resist corrosion, and moulded strain relief at the plugs to reduce mechanical stress at termination points. Foil shielding around the twisted pairs enhances noise suppression compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain stable signal quality over the full 20 m length. The 8P8C RJ-45 connectors provide broad compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or network device and connect the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain a reasonable separation from high-voltage power lines where possible to minimise interference. For installations through conduits or behind panels, feed the cable carefully to avoid damaging the jacket or connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e FTP cable for typical 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet links where Cat5e performance and foil shielding are sufficient. For runs exposed to strong electromagnetic sources or requiring higher bandwidth over longer distances, consider shielded Cat6/Cat6a alternatives and verify compatibility with connected equipment.
