RS PRO Cat5e Ethernet Cable, 3 m, Yellow, RJ45 Male to RJ45 Male, U/UTP PVC 557-288

The RS PRO 557-288 Cat5e Ethernet Cable is a precision-engineered networking cable designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments requiring stable and high-speed data transfer. With a length of 3 meters, this cable is perfectly suited for patching devices across network racks, workstations, and automation equipment.

Engineered with a Cat5e twisted pair build, the cable supports data applications up to 100 MHz, ensuring compatibility with typical workplace, server room, or laboratory network demands. Both ends feature gold-plated RJ45 male connectors, guaranteeing corrosion resistance and optimal signal integrity. The connectors are securely crimped and offer a standardized interface for seamless integration with routers, switches, hubs, and LAN systems.

The cable sheath utilizes U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) technology wrapped in a durable PVC jacket. This construction balances flexibility and toughness, with enhanced protection against abrasion or bending. The jacket's vivid yellow coloring allows for quick visual identification amid complex cabling arrays, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.

The inner conductors are quality 24 AWG stranded copper wire, delivering reliable electrical performance and low signal attenuation. The cable is rated for a maximum voltage of 30V and is manufactured to meet EC 1907/2006, IEC 61935-2, ISO/IEC 11801 2nd Edition, RoHS, and REACH requirements for compliance and safety.

Typical applications include patching between networking equipment, connecting computers and printers in office or laboratory setups, linking industrial control panels, and extending LAN connections in manufacturing and process control environments.
