connektgear 0.5m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Network Cable Blue

Connektgear RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable | 0.5m Blue

This connektgear 0.5m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Blue is designed for fast Ethernet connections in tight spaces. It is ideal for linking routers, switches, and patch panels. Because it uses 24AWG stranded copper, it handles frequent movement without breaking. So, it suits temporary setups or desk installations. In practice, this cable offers a reliable 100 Mbit/s data transfer rate for standard office tasks.

Slim Technical Profile

Optimised for Short-Run Patching

The 0.5 metre length reduces cable clutter in dense rack environments. Because the boot is flush moulded, it fits easily behind furniture or tight wall ports. Also, the snagless design protects the locking tab during installation. You get a tidy connection without excess slack.

Gold-Plated Connectivity

Each connector features gold-plated contacts. This plating helps maintain a stable signal across the interface. However, the connector itself is unshielded (U/UTP). So, this cable is best for low-interference environments. In practice, it supports standard 10/100Base-T(X) networking without issue.

Flexible Stranded Construction

The internal conductors are stranded rather than solid. This makes the cable more flexible and resistant to fatigue. For example, it is suitable for devices that are moved occasionally. It handles the physical stress of daily routing better than solid core alternatives.

Compliance and Safety

The cable jacket is PVC, offering basic durability for indoor use. It holds RoHS and REACH compliance certificates. However, specific UKCA or CE markings are not stated in the input. Please verify local regulatory requirements for your specific installation.

Box contents

• 1 x connektgear 0.5m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Blue

Check before you buy

• Confirm your device supports Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s) and RJ-45 interfaces.
• Verify the physical space allows for a 0.5m patch lead with a flush boot.
• Check if your environment requires shielded cabling (STP); this is U/UTP.
• Ensure the blue colour identification meets your cable management standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with Gigabit Ethernet?

A: No, this cable is rated for Fast Ethernet up to 100 Mbit/s, not 1000 Mbit/s.

Q: Does this cable require a crossover configuration?

A: No, it supports auto MDI/MDIX, so it works with standard straight-through wiring.

Q: Is the connector shielding effective for noisy areas?

A: The connector is unshielded; for high interference, consider a shielded (STP) cable.

Q: Is this suitable for outdoor use?

A: No, the PVC jacket is designed for indoor use; UV and weather resistance are not specified.
