RJ45 CAT5e 3m Black Network Cable

TARGET RJ45 (M) to RJ45 (M) CAT5e 3m Black OEM Moulded Boot Copper UTP Network Cable

The TARGET RJ45 (M) to RJ45 (M) CAT5e 3m Black OEM Moulded Boot Copper UTP Network Cable delivers reliable Ethernet connectivity for home and office networks. Built with full copper conductors and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction, this cable provides stable data transmission for Gigabit speeds over distances up to 3 metres.

Technical Specifications

Full Copper Construction for Reliable Performance

This cable uses genuine copper conductors rather than CCA (Copper Clad Aluminium), ensuring better signal integrity and reduced resistance. The full copper wiring maintains Gigabit Ethernet speeds without signal degradation, making it ideal for gaming, streaming, and office productivity where consistent performance matters.

Moulded Boot Protection for Durability

The moulded boot design protects the critical connection points where the cable meets the RJ45 connectors. This construction prevents the cable from bending too sharply at stress points, extending the cable’s working life. The boot also helps maintain proper cable geometry, which is essential for consistent signal transmission.

UTP Design for Standard Network Applications

Unshielded Twisted Pair construction relies on the cable’s internal wire pairs being twisted at precise intervals to reject electromagnetic interference. This design works excellently in typical office and home environments where cables run near power cords or other electronics. The UTP approach keeps the cable flexible and cost-effective while maintaining signal quality.

26AWG Gauge for Optimal Balance

The 26AWG (American Wire Gauge) specification provides an excellent balance between flexibility and signal carrying capacity. This gauge size allows the cable to maintain Gigabit speeds over its 3m length while remaining easy to route through cable management systems or behind furniture.
