Full Copper Conductors for Reliable Performance

This CAT5e network cable uses full copper conductors rather than CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium), ensuring optimal signal integrity and longevity. Full copper wiring provides superior electrical conductivity compared to alternatives, making it ideal for high-speed Ethernet applications up to 1000BASE-T. The 26AWG gauge strikes an excellent balance between flexibility and signal quality, perfect for connecting devices within close proximity.

Moulded Boot Design for Enhanced Durability

The OEM moulded boot construction protects the RJ45 connectors from physical damage and strain. This design prevents the cable from bending at sharp angles near the connector, which commonly causes signal degradation or connection failure over time. The moulded boot also provides a secure grip when connecting or disconnecting the cable, reducing wear on both the connector and your device’s port.

CAT5e Standard Meets Modern Networking Needs

Category 5e cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps, making it suitable for most home and office networking applications. The twisted pair design rejects electromagnetic interference naturally, eliminating the need for additional shielding. This cable complies with ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA 568B.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with network equipment worldwide.

Versatile Short-Range Connectivity Solution

At 0.5 metres, this cable provides the perfect length for connecting devices that sit close together without excess cable clutter. Whether you’re connecting a PC to a wall outlet, linking network switches, or connecting AV equipment, this compact cable eliminates slack while maintaining full signal integrity. The black colourway offers a professional appearance that blends with most setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What devices is this cable compatible with?

A: Any device with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports, including computers, routers, switches, gaming consoles, and smart TVs.

Q: Can this cable handle Gigabit Ethernet speeds?

A: Yes, CAT5e cables support speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) for Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Q: What’s the difference between UTP and shielded cables?

A: UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables rely on twisted wire pairs to reject interference, while shielded cables have additional metal shielding for extra protection in noisy environments.

Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

A: This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor applications, you’d need a weather-resistant cable specifically rated for exterior installation.

Q: How do I know if I need CAT5e or a higher category cable?

A: CAT5e supports up to 1000 Mbps. If you need faster speeds or future-proofing, consider CAT6 or CAT6a cables, which support higher bandwidths.
