Networking cable Gembird PP22-2M Cat5e 2 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 beige, gold-plated contacts

Gembird PP22-2M Cat5e is a 2 m Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable uses foil-shielded twisted pair (FTP) construction and a beige outer jacket that blends into home and office environments. It is designed for wired networks where Cat5e performance is sufficient, supporting standard 100 Mbps and Gigabit 1000 Mbps Ethernet links when used within Cat5e infrastructure.

Advantages

The foil-shielded twisted pair reduces electromagnetic interference and cross-talk, improving signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or multiple adjacent cables. Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance for stable long-term connections. Molded strain relief on both RJ-45 plugs increases connector durability and reduces wear from bending near the ends.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or modem and the other end into the Ethernet port of your computer, printer or other networked device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference. When terminating at patch panels or wall outlets, route the cable so strain relief can work effectively and connectors are not stressed.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e FTP cable for standard Gigabit or Fast Ethernet connections in residential and small-business setups. For installations requiring higher bandwidth, PoE at extended distances, or industrial-grade durability, consider higher category or specially rated cables appropriate to those needs.
