Essential Cable Specifications

Short Length for Tidy Connections

This 0.5m cable is perfect for reducing cable clutter. It connects devices close to each other. For example, use it to link a router to a nearby PC. This short length minimises excess cable.

U/UTP Shielding for Standard Environments

The U/UTP (Unshielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair) design suits typical office and home networks. It offers good performance where interference is not a major concern. This keeps costs lower for standard installations.

Copper-Clad Aluminium Conductors

We use Copper-Clad Aluminium (CCA) for the conductors. This helps us offer a more economical cable. CCA provides good conductivity for general data transmission. However, it is not suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications.

Universal RJ-45 Connectivity

Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. These are widely compatible with most network devices. You can connect it to switches, routers, and network cards. This ensures broad usability across your hardware.

Before You Order

• Confirm the 0.5m length is sufficient for your connection.
• Confirm your application does not require Power over Ethernet (PoE).
• Confirm your devices use standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports.
