Gold-plated connectors for stable contact

The RJ-45 contacts use gold plating. This resists corrosion and maintains a clean signal path. In practice, it reduces intermittent faults on frequent plug-unplug cycles. For you, this means more dependable connections at the desk or in the rack.

Snagless and moulded boot design

The cable features a snagless boot and a moulded strain relief. This protects the locking tab during installation. Because the boot is moulded, it resists split housings in tight patches. You get faster, safer runs through patch panels and wall boxes.

24 AWG stranded copper conductors

The conductors use 24 AWG stranded copper within a PVC jacket. Stranded wire flexes better for patch cords than solid core. So this cable handles repeated movement without fatigue. Verify that 24 AWG suits your patch panel and keystone ports before purchase.

Gigabit-ready Cat5e performance

This cable meets Cat5e and supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X). It is U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair), suitable for most office environments. In practice, short 1 m runs minimise crosstalk and loss. For heavy interference areas, confirm whether shielded (S/UTP) is required.

Red colour for visual management

The red jacket aids quick cable tracing in busy cabinets. You can separate VLANs, PoE runs, or desk feeds by colour. This reduces downtime during moves, adds and changes. Also, it improves audit clarity for UK health and safety checks.

RoHS compliance and origin

The product lists RoHS compliance and country of origin as China. We do not claim UKCA or CE marking unless specified by the manufacturer. For regulated sites, confirm local conformity marks with your supplier. Always check site standards before deployment.
