Description
This Cat5e patch lead from AV:Link connects your network devices over a 3.0 metre run, with an RJ45 plug at each end. It's built for wired ethernet, so you can link routers, switches, computers and other network hardware without relying on a wireless signal. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction keeps the cable slim and easy to route around a desk or through a cabinet.
Inside, you'll find solid 24AWG copper clad aluminium conductors arranged as four twisted pairs, which help cut down on interference between the wires. The lead supports 100/1000Base-T ethernet, meaning it handles both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit connections. That makes it a sensible pick for home networks, offices and AV setups where a stable wired link matters more than convenience.
The cable has a core diameter of 4 x 2 x 0.51mmØ and an overall diameter of 5mm, so it stays flexible enough to work with in tight spaces. Shorter lengths like this one arrive in a sealed retail bag, keeping the lead clean and protected until you're ready to plug it in. If you need a straightforward, reliable connection for everyday networking, this is a solid choice at a length that suits most short runs between nearby devices.

Frequently Asked
What speeds does this Cat5e patch lead support?
It supports 100/1000Base-T ethernet, covering both Fast Ethernet and Gigabit connections, and is capable of transmitting at GHz speed.
How long is the cable?
This lead measures 3.0 metres, which suits short runs between nearby devices such as a router and a computer or switch.
What are the connectors on each end?
Both ends have an RJ45 plug, the standard connector used for wired ethernet networking.
Is the cable shielded?
No, it uses unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction. The four twisted pairs help reduce interference between the wires.
What are the conductors made from?
The lead uses solid 24AWG copper clad aluminium conductors arranged as four twisted pairs.
Will this work for a Gigabit network?
Yes. It supports 1000Base-T, so it works with Gigabit ethernet as well as slower 100Base-T connections.
