This section confirms the exact product model. It is a 1-metre Cat5e patch cable with U/UTP (unshielded) construction. The connectors are RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male. The conductors are stranded 24 AWG. The cable is RoHS compliant. Because it is unshielded, it is best used in low-interference environments.

Slim Specs Table

Reliable RJ-45 Connectivity

The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. This plating helps maintain a stable electrical connection over time. The molded, snagless boots protect the clip during installation. You can plug and unplug with less risk of damage. So, it suits frequent reconfiguration in office or home setups.

10/100/1000Base-T(X) Support

It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networking. This means it works for standard Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps. Because it is Cat5e, it is suitable for typical desktop and VoIP use. However, for high-interference areas, you may prefer shielded (S/FTP) cable. In practice, this lead is fine for short runs in clean environments.

Flexible Stranded Conductors

The conductors are stranded 24 AWG. Stranded wire offers flexibility for patching and tight bends. This makes the cable easier to route around desks or racks. It is less prone to breakage than solid core wire. Also, the PVC jacket provides basic durability for indoor use.

Compact 1-Metre Length

At 1 metre, this lead is ideal for local connections. Use it between a patch panel and a switch, or a PC and a wall port. It reduces cable clutter in confined spaces. Because it is short, signal loss is minimal. For longer runs, confirm the appropriate length for your building.
