FAQs
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT5e cable?
This CAT5e cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps), making it suitable for standard Gigabit Ethernet networks.
Is this cable suitable for connecting my network switch to a patch panel?
Yes. The 25cm length and RJ45 connectors make this cable ideal for short patch runs in network cabinets, racks, and between adjacent network equipment.
Why is the cable yellow?
The yellow jacket provides visual identification and aids in cable management and organisation. Colour-coded cables help IT professionals quickly identify network connections during installation and troubleshooting.
What is the difference between CAT5e and CAT6 cables?
CAT5e supports up to 1 Gbps over 100 metres, whilst CAT6 supports up to 10 Gbps but over shorter distances. CAT5e is cost-effective for most standard office networks.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This is an indoor UTP cable. For outdoor use, you should select an outdoor-rated cable with appropriate shielding and weatherproof jacket materials.
What does UTP mean?
UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair. It means the cable has no additional metallic shielding around the twisted pairs, making it lighter and more flexible but more susceptible to electromagnetic interference in noisy environments.
Is this cable compatible with all RJ45 devices?
Yes. The standard RJ45 connectors are compatible with any device featuring RJ45 ports, including switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards.
