Networking cable LANBERG PCU5-10CC-0300-BK U/UTP Cat5e, 3 m, Black

The LANBERG PCU5-10CC-0300-BK U/UTP Cat5e networking cable is a 3 m black patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections in homes, offices and small data networks. Built to Cat5e performance, the cable supports standard Fast Ethernet and Gigabit-ready installations within typical horizontal cabling limits. Copper-plated connector contacts provide consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance while the black jacket offers a discreet look for visible or concealed routing.

Advantages

This Cat5e U/UTP cable provides stable data transmission and minimal crosstalk for typical LAN and internet traffic. The 3 m length is suitable for short runs between devices such as PCs, routers and switches without excess cable slack. Copper-plated contacts improve electrical continuity and reduce the risk of intermittent connections. The black outer sheath is resistant to abrasion and simplifies installation in darker or visible areas.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to routers or switches
• Linking switches within small racks or wall-mounted setups
• Wired connections for set-top boxes, media players and smart TVs
• Temporary or permanent office and home network cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (U/UTP)
• Length: 3 m
• Connector contacts: copper-plated
• Color: black
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN and internet data transmission
• Jacket: flexible PVC for standard installation environments

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected are powered off or accept hot-plugging. Insert one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a PC or switch) and the other connector into the destination device (router, modem, switch or networked device). Confirm LEDs on devices indicate link/activity to verify a successful connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; secure with cable ties or clips if a fixed installation is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance maintain bend radii greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference, and choose appropriate cable lengths to minimize excess slack. Use this Cat5e cable for connections up to 100 meters within structured cabling limits; for higher bandwidth needs or longer permanent runs consider Cat6 or higher category cables.
