shiverpeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 networking cable Grey 0.1 m

The shiverpeaks Cat5e RJ45-2x RJ45 networking cable Grey 0.1 m is a short patch cable engineered for reliable local network connections where limited distance is required. Built to Cat5e standards, it supports Ethernet data rates suitable for typical office and home networking equipment. The cable has a compact length of 0.1 m and grey sheathing for a neutral appearance in rack, desktop, or media cabinet setups.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides stable signal transmission for Ethernet links over short distances, reducing clutter compared with longer patch leads. The RJ45 terminations are compatible with standard Ethernet ports on routers, switches, patch panels and networked devices. Its short 0.1 m length minimizes cable slack, improves airflow in dense installations and helps maintain tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting adjacent network ports on switches or patch panels
• Linking devices in compact server racks or desktop setups
• Short connections between network equipment and wall outlets
• Temporary test connections in network troubleshooting and diagnostics

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (suitable for fast Ethernet and Gigabit applications within standard Cat5e limits)
• Connector type: RJ45 to dual RJ45 layout (one-to-two physical termination orientation as supplied)
• Length: 0.1 m
• Sheath color: Grey
• Construction: twisted-pair copper conductors with standard insulation

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug(s) into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Ensure both ends are fully seated in device ports to establish a reliable link. For multi-connector use, determine the intended device pairing before connecting to avoid unintended network loops; use with managed switches and patch panels according to your network design. Handle the cable without excessive bending or twisting to preserve connector integrity and transmission quality.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat5e patch cable for tidy, short-distance Ethernet connections in racks, patch panels and desktop arrangements. Avoid using it where longer reach or in-line splitting is required; choose appropriate-length or higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) when higher shielding or extended bandwidth is needed.
