connektgear 15m CAT5e UTP Network Cable – Grey

Connektgear 15m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable | 24AWG Grey

This connektgear 15m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Grey provides a dependable link for Fast Ethernet setups. It is designed for UK offices, home networks, and light infrastructure tasks. The cable uses stranded 24AWG conductors for flexibility and features gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity. Because it is UTP (unshielded), it suits environments with low electromagnetic interference.

Connektgear 15m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Grey

This exact SKU offers a 15-metre reach for devices positioned farther from routers or switches. The flush moulded boots help protect the RJ45 connectors while reducing snagging during installation. It supports 100 MHz bandwidth and 100 Mbit/s data transfer, aligning with Fast Ethernet standards. However, it does not support Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Slim Specifications

Flexible Stranded Conductors for Tight Setups

The stranded conductor design makes this cable easier to route around corners or through cable trays. It resists breakage better than solid core wire when moved frequently. So, it is suitable for connecting desktop PCs, printers, or switches in active workspaces. Because it is 24AWG, it offers a solid balance of flexibility and signal integrity.

Gold-Plated Contacts for Consistent Connectivity

Each connector features gold plating on the contact points. This helps resist corrosion and maintains a clean signal path over time. In practice, this supports stable 10/100Base-T(X) connections for standard office tasks. However, the connector shielding is not specified, so verify EMI requirements for your specific environment.

Flush Moulded Boots for Physical Protection

The snagless, moulded boots protect the clip mechanism during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of damage when running cables through tight spaces. Also, the grey PVC jacket blends well with typical office décor. If you require specific fire ratings, confirm the jacket specifications with the manufacturer.

UTP Design for Low-Interference Areas

This cable uses U/UTP (unshielded) twisted pair construction. It is ideal for areas with minimal electrical noise. For example, it works well in home offices or standard desk setups. However, if you run cables near heavy machinery or power lines, verify that unshielded cable is appropriate.

Box contents

• 1 x connektgear 15m RJ45 CAT5e UTP Stranded Flush Moulded Network Cable – 24AWG – Grey

Check before you buy

• Confirm your router or switch supports 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet if you expect higher speeds.
• Verify the physical space, as the 15m length requires routing plan for tidy installation.
• Check if your environment requires shielded cables (STP) due to high EMI; this is UTP.
• Ensure the destination ports accept standard RJ45 male connectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this cable compatible with Gigabit Ethernet?

A: No, this cable supports up to 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet, not 1000 Mbit/s Gigabit speeds.

Q: Does this cable require a separate power source?

A: No, it is a passive network cable and draws no external power.

Q: Is the connector shielding present?

A: No, connector shielding is not specified; the cable is UTP (unshielded).

Q: Can I use this outdoors?

A: The jacket is PVC; confirm outdoor or UV rating with the manufacturer before external use.

Q: What is the wire gauge?

A: The conductors are 24AWG stranded copper.

The Consultant’s verdict & warranty

Buy this cable if you need a reliable 15-metre link for a 100 Mbit/s Fast Ethernet network in a low-interference UK environment. It suits desks, printers, and basic switches where flexibility and snag-resistant boots matter. However, if you require Gigabit speeds or shielded connections, verify alternative options. Covered by the standard Manufacturer Warranty.
