Ready-Made 3M RJ45 Cat5e Patch Cable Ethernet Short Network Lead

A 3-metre patch cable is the short-run option for network connections where the equipment and switch are close but not adjacent: connecting a PoE camera or door controller a few metres from the switch, patching an NVR to a switch in the same rack bay, and connecting devices within the same cabinet or along a short run of cable tray.

Factory-terminated connectors ensure consistent crimp quality and correct wiring standard at both ends without on-site tooling. The cable is ready to use from the packet with no preparation required.

Cat5e at 3 metres provides full Gigabit Ethernet performance at this length. The 3-metre option sits between the very short 1m or 2m desk cables and the 5-metre mid-length option (also available in this range), providing the correct length for positions that fall between those sizes without excess cable bundling at the equipment.

For the cable length range available: 3m is for short equipment runs; 5m suits slightly longer within-room connections; 15m is for cross-room positions; the 50m and 100m lengths suit long open-plan or cross-floor runs, and in-wall cable drums are used for permanent structured cabling.
