Connektgear Network Cable | Purple Cat5e UTP Patch Lead

This document outlines the connektgear 1m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Purple. It is designed for Fast Ethernet connectivity. The cable features a snagless boot and gold-plated contacts. It is suitable for connecting PCs, printers, and switches. Because it is UTP, it relies on standard interference rejection. However, verify your environment’s noise levels.

Technical Proof and Buyer Benefit

The cable supports up to 100 Mbit/s data transfer. This is standard for 10/100Base-T(X) networks. The 24AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility. They suit frequent movement or tight bends. The PVC jacket provides basic durability. In practice, this works well for office desk setups.

Reliable RJ45 Connectivity

Both connectors are RJ-45 male to male. The contacts are gold-plated. This helps maintain a stable signal. The molded boot protects the clip. This reduces snagging during installation. The cable length is 1 metre. This is ideal for short runs between a device and a wall port.

Performance Specifications

The cable operates at 100 MHz frequency. It meets Cat5e standards. It is U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair). It supports IEEE 802.3 and 802.3u. However, it does not support Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). For higher speeds, a Cat6 or Cat6a cable is required.

Installation and Colour Coding

The product colour is Purple. This aids cable management and identification. The cable is Plug and Play. No configuration is needed. The conductor type is stranded. This is best for patch cords, not long solid runs. Always check that your network ports are RJ-45.
