RJ45 CAT5e Network Cable 0.5m Blue

TARGET RJ45 (M) to RJ45 (M) CAT5e 0.5m Blue OEM Moulded Boot Copper UTP Network Cable

The TARGET RJ45 (M) to RJ45 (M) CAT5e 0.5m Blue OEM Moulded Boot Copper UTP Network Cable delivers reliable Ethernet connectivity for home and office networks. This 0.5-metre blue cable features full copper conductors and moulded RJ45 connectors for secure, high-integrity data transmission.

Key Specifications

Why Full Copper Conductors Matter

This TARGET network cable uses 26 AWG bare copper cores throughout, providing superior electrical conductivity compared to copper-clad alternatives. Full copper conductors ensure minimal signal loss and consistent performance for Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps. The bare copper construction also offers better corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.

Moulded Boot Design Benefits

The OEM moulded boot design protects the RJ45 connector junction from physical stress and strain. This reinforced connection point prevents cable damage during installation and repeated plugging/unplugging cycles. The boot also helps maintain proper cable bend radius, preserving signal integrity over the cable’s lifetime.

CAT5e Performance for Modern Networks

Category 5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and bandwidth up to 100 MHz. This makes the cable suitable for most home broadband connections, office networks, and streaming applications. The twisted pair design provides natural noise rejection without requiring additional shielding.

Compact 0.5m Length Advantages

The 0.5-metre length is ideal for connecting devices in close proximity, such as routers to switches or computers to wall outlets. This shorter length reduces cable clutter and potential signal degradation from unnecessary cable runs. The blue colour coding helps with easy identification in network installations.
