Reliable Performance for LAN, VoIP & More
This 1m CAT5E patch lead is ideal for connecting devices over short distances such as desktop computers, switches, routers, VoIP phones, IP cameras, and patch panel links. Its compact form factor and high flexibility make it suitable for tight cable management in high-density network environments.
Durable Build for Long-Term Use
The flame-retardant PVC jacket resists abrasion and maintains integrity in dynamic routing spaces. The integrated rip cord allows for quick stripping when necessary, while HDPE insulation maintains the integrity of your signal across each twisted pair.
Tested for Quality Assurance
Each cable is individually Fluke tested to guarantee performance for Category 5e standards. This ensures compliance with TIA/EIA-568-B.2 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, so you can install with confidence knowing your network will remain stable and secure.
Common Use Cases
- Workstation to switch/router connections
- Patch panel linking and cross-connects
- Voice over IP (VoIP) phones
- Short-distance CCTV or NVR connections
- Temporary test setups or lab environments
