Ultra-Short Length for Clean Cable Management

At just 0.25m, this TARGET network cable eliminates excess slack between closely positioned devices. The moulded boot protects the RJ45 connectors from strain and damage, ensuring long-term reliability in busy IT environments. Perfect for patching between switches, routers, or directly connecting devices in confined rack spaces.

Full Copper Conductors for Consistent Performance

Unlike cheaper CCA (copper-clad aluminium) alternatives, this cable uses full copper conductors for superior signal integrity. The 26AWG gauge provides optimal balance between flexibility and durability, while maintaining CAT5e performance standards for speeds up to 1000 Mbps over short runs.

UTP Design for Noise Rejection

The unshielded twisted pair construction relies on precise cable geometry to reject electromagnetic interference. This UTP design keeps the cable lightweight and flexible while delivering the noise rejection needed for reliable Ethernet connections in typical UK office and home environments.

Compliant with Industry Standards

Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 and TIA/EIA 568B.2 specifications, this TARGET cable meets recognised networking standards. The CM (UL) C(UL) 4P rating indicates compliance with fire safety regulations for general-purpose cable use in commercial and residential settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this cable for PoE (Power over Ethernet)?

A: Yes, CAT5e cables support PoE applications when both connected devices are compatible.

Q: Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?

A: No, this is an indoor-rated cable. For outdoor use, you need weatherproof cable with appropriate jacket rating.

Q: What’s the difference between CAT5e and CAT6?

A: CAT6 offers higher bandwidth and better crosstalk protection, but CAT5e remains perfectly adequate for most 1Gbps applications.

Q: Does the moulded boot affect connector flexibility?

A: The boot provides strain relief but maintains normal connector flexibility for standard port connections.

Q: Can I join two of these cables together?

A: Yes, using a standard RJ45 coupler, though keeping connections as short as possible is recommended for optimal performance.
