Patch cable CAT5 UTP 2M

★★★★★ "2-metre patch cables are perfect for the connections that need just a bit of extra reach." Nolwazi M., Durban

CAT5e UTP Patch Cable — 2 Metres, Pre-Made

A 2-metre CAT5e UTP patch cable with factory-crimped RJ45 connectors. The slightly longer reach compared to a 1M cable handles connections where equipment is not directly adjacent — switch to NVR, wall outlet to network device, or patch panel to switch.

Why This Patch Cable Stands Out

• 2M Versatile Length: Just enough extra reach for equipment that's a desk width or shelf distance apart — useful in control rooms, server bays, and monitoring stations
• Factory-Tested Terminations: Machine-crimped connectors ensure consistent, reliable connections — every cable arrives tested and ready to use
• Flexible Stranded Construction: Designed for repeated connect/disconnect cycles without the conductor damage that solid-core cable would suffer

Key Features

• 2-metre length for slightly longer short connections
• CAT5e UTP specification — 100Mbps for IP cameras and networking
• Stranded conductors for flexibility and repeated use
• RJ45 factory-crimped both ends
• Standard grey or coloured jacket for cable management identification

Why You'll Love It

Keep both 1M and 2M patch cables on hand. The 2M cable handles those connections where there's just a bit more distance between ports and equipment — eliminating the frustration of a 1M cable that's just too short.

FAQ

Can I use CAT5e patch cables with CAT6 installation cable?
Yes — CAT5e and CAT6 are compatible and interchangeable for 100Mbps applications. Mixing standards reduces the channel to the lower specification (CAT5e), which is still adequate for IP cameras.

Should I stock both 1M and 2M cables?
Yes — having both lengths means you always have the right cable available without excess slack cluttering your rack or desk.

Do patch cables support PoE?
Yes — standard CAT5e and CAT6 patch cables carry both data and PoE power without any special requirement.
