DSIT CAT5e U/UTP netwerk-patchkabel, 20 m, rood, 100% koper (DC-55-200)

For network technicians, office administrators, and home users who need a dependable wired connection over longer distances, this 20-meter red CAT5e patch cable delivers stable Gigabit Ethernet performance. It is built with 100% copper conductors and U/UTP construction, making it suitable for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network devices in offices, server rooms, or home setups where Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 20 meters
• Colour: Red
• Conductor material: 100% copper
• Data transfer rate: up to 1 Gbps (1000BASE-T)
• Bandwidth: up to 100 MHz
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Cable construction: stranded
• Wiring standard: TIA/EIA-568B (straight-through)

Why choose it

This cable uses pure copper conductors, which provide lower resistance and better signal integrity compared to copper-clad aluminium (CCA) alternatives. The stranded wire construction offers flexibility for routing around corners and through cable management. The red jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables, and the 20-meter length gives you plenty of reach for larger rooms or cable runs along walls.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting a desktop PC or laptop to a router or switch in a home or office
• Linking network devices in a server rack or patch panel
• Extending a network connection to a smart TV, game console, or media player
• Setting up temporary networks for events or presentations

Good to know

The cable is backward compatible with older Ethernet standards (10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX) and meets CAT5e performance requirements. It is a straight-through cable, suitable for connecting different types of devices (e.g., computer to switch). For direct computer-to-computer connections without a switch, a crossover cable would be required, but this cable is not crossover.
