Networking cable LANBERG RJ-45 Cat5e PCU5-10CC-0050-B, 0.5 m, U/UTP, CCA, blue

The Lanberg PCU5-10CC-0050-B RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5 m Blue is a short patch cable designed for stable Ethernet connections in compact setups. Compliant with the Cat5e specification, this U/UTP cable provides balanced performance for data transmission between routers, switches, network cards and patch panels. Its half-metre length keeps cable runs tidy and reduces excess slack in small workstations, server racks or home networking environments.

Advantages

The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play connectivity and meets Cat5e performance requirements for reliable 100BASE-TX and Gigabit-ready links within short distances. U/UTP construction helps limit external interference while maintaining flexibility for easy routing. The blue outer sheath simplifies identification among multiple network lines and the short 0.5 m length minimizes signal attenuation and clutter in confined installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a nearby router or switch
• Patching between adjacent ports in small patch panels or network switches
• Temporary test connections in network diagnostics and maintenance
• Cable runs inside compact racks, wall outlets or home media cabinets

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Shielding type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Blue
• Typical use: Ethernet data transmission

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the router, switch or wall outlet port. Ensure connectors click securely into place to establish proper contact. For optimal performance keep the cable run free of sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For patching within racks or panels, route the cable to avoid strain on connector ends.

Recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat5e cable for short, direct connections where minimal slack and clear port identification are priorities. Avoid using it for long-distance backbone links; select longer, appropriately rated cables for extended runs or where higher shielding is required.
