Cable de red Extralink Cat.5e RJ-45 U/UTP 0,5 m gris

The Extralink LAN Patchcord Kat.5e RJ-45 U/UTP 0.5m in grey is a short, flexible network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Constructed as a four-wire twisted-pair cable made of pure copper, this 0.5 m patchcord supports standard data transmission and also allows Power over Ethernet (PoE) to supply compatible devices. Terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable offers straightforward plug-and-play installation for patching, linking devices or completing structured cabling runs where short runs and neat routing are required.

Advantages

This Extralink Category 5e patchcord combines a compact length with flexible construction to simplify installation in crowded racks, desktops, or wall-mounted equipment. The U/UTP design reduces electromagnetic interference in typical indoor setups while the gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide consistent contact and corrosion resistance. Pure copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission and compatibility with PoE-powered devices, and the grey jacket makes the cable visually unobtrusive in most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and patch panels over short distances
• Linking desktop computers, VoIP phones and network printers
• Patching ports inside IT cabinets and structured cabling frames
• Powering PoE devices where short copper runs are required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Category 5e, four twisted pairs (U/UTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: pure copper
• Connectors: RJ-45 gold-plated
• Shielding: unshielded cable with shielded connectors
• Colour: grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port of the devices you want to connect, ensuring a secure click sound indicates proper seating. Use the 0.5 m length for short interconnections between equipment in racks, on desktops or behind networking panels. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive compression to preserve conductor integrity and maintain optimal signal performance. The cable can be used in standard Ethernet environments and with PoE-capable equipment according to device specifications.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep the patchcord away from high-voltage power cables and strong electromagnetic sources. Use the 0.5 m length where minimal slack is needed to reduce clutter; for longer runs choose a higher length to avoid tension. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if connectors show wear or if data errors occur.
