Netwerkkabel GEMBIRD Cat5e PP12-5M/G, 5 m, RJ-45 naar RJ-45, vergulde contacten, groen

GEMBIRD Cat5e PP12-5M/G is a 5 m Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. The cable meets Cat5e performance for local area network (LAN) data transmission and is intended for connecting switches, routers, PCs and other network equipment. Its green outer jacket helps with visual identification in patch panels and cabling bundles while maintaining standard unshielded construction for typical office and home installations.

Advantages

The cable provides reliable copper connections for Ethernet up to Cat5e performance levels, featuring gold-plated contact surfaces that improve corrosion resistance and contact stability. Molded strain reliefs at both ends reduce mechanical stress on the connector area, extending service life under frequent plugging and unplugging. The green jacket makes it easier to organise and trace individual runs in structured cabling.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router or PC and plug the other end into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to achieve a secure electrical and mechanical connection. For best performance, avoid running the cable near strong electromagnetic sources or bundling it tightly with power cables. Use the 5 m length for mid-distance patching within racks, between wall plates and nearby equipment.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and maintain bend radii larger than the cable diameter. Inspect gold-plated contacts periodically for contamination and replace the cable if the connector latch or contact integrity is compromised. Use colour-coded patching practices to simplify network identification and maintenance.
