LogiLink Cat.5e U/UTP flat patch cable, RJ45, 3m, black

In a busy office, a network technician needs a reliable cable that can be routed under carpet or along baseboards without creating a tripping hazard. The LogiLink Flat Cat.5e U/UTP Patch Cable offers a slim, flat profile that disappears into tight spaces while delivering Gigabit Ethernet speeds. With a length of 3 meters, it connects a desktop PC to a wall outlet or a router to a switch, ensuring stable data transfer for everyday tasks like video conferencing, large file transfers, and cloud backups.

Key specifications

Why choose it

The flat design is not just about looks—it reduces cable clutter and prevents kinks that can damage round cables. The stranded copper conductors allow the cable to bend easily without breaking, making it ideal for frequent reconnections. Gold-plated contacts ensure a reliable connection over time, even in environments with moderate humidity. This cable meets Cat.5e standards, which are sufficient for most home and office networks, and it is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting computers, laptops, and printers to a local network
• Linking routers, switches, and modems in a structured cabling setup
• Gaming consoles and smart TVs that require a stable wired connection
• Temporary setups at trade shows, conferences, or training rooms
• Home offices where aesthetics and space-saving are important

Good to know

While this cable is unshielded, it is suitable for most residential and office environments where electromagnetic interference is low. For industrial settings or areas with high interference, consider a shielded cable. The cable is RoHS compliant and comes in a polybag packaging. It is part of LogiLink's range of reliable networking accessories, known for their quality and affordability.
