FAQs
What is the maximum distance for CAT5e cables?
CAT5e cables are rated for distances up to 100 metres. This 0.5m cable is ideal for short connections between nearby devices such as computers, switches, and patch panels.
Is this cable suitable for gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, CAT5e supports gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps, making it suitable for most modern office and business networks.
What does UTP mean?
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) refers to the cable construction. The twisted pairs help reduce electromagnetic interference, while the unshielded design keeps the cable flexible and cost-effective.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use. For outdoor or harsh environments, consider screened or ruggedised cable options.
Are RJ45 connectors universal?
Yes, RJ45 connectors are the standard for Ethernet connections and work with all standard network devices, switches, routers, and network interface cards.
How does conductor gauge affect cable performance?
26AWG (American Wire Gauge) is the standard for CAT5e cables. Thicker gauge conductors provide better conductivity over longer distances, though at 0.5m this cable experiences minimal signal loss.
