- The 8ware CAT5e 20m Ethernet cable is a standard networking solution for connecting computers, printers, switches, and other networked devices over medium distances. Constructed with solid 26AWG copper conductors and UTP shielding, it provides reliable data transmission at CAT5e specifications.
The 20-metre length makes it ideal for installations where cable runs need to span across offices, between floors, or within data centre environments. RJ45 male connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with standard network ports and patch panels.
This cable is suitable for businesses seeking cost-effective network infrastructure without compromising on basic performance and durability. The blue jacket aids in cable management and network identification.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance for CAT5e cables?
CAT5e cables are rated for transmission distances up to 100 metres under standard networking conditions. This 20m cable is suitable for most office and data centre installations.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit networking?
Yes, CAT5e supports gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps). However, for longer runs or future-proofing, CAT6 or CAT6A cables may be preferable in some deployments.
What does UTP mean?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. The twisted pair design reduces electromagnetic interference, while the unshielded construction makes it suitable for standard office environments.
Can I use this cable outdoors?
This cable is designed for indoor use. Outdoor installations require cables with UV-resistant jackets and appropriate shielding.
What is included in the warranty?
The cable includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
Are the connectors pre-crimped?
Yes, this is a patch cable with pre-crimped RJ45 connectors ready for immediate use. No additional crimping or assembly is required.
