With a length of 5 meters (16.4 feet), these cables offer ample reach for flexible network setups. They feature RJ45 connectors, which are equipped with 50-micron gold-plated contacts to ensure optimal conductivity and durability. The connectors are designed with either a snagless or molded strain relief to protect against physical damage and wear.

The patch cords are constructed with twisted pair copper conductors and are available in both solid and stranded varieties. Depending on the model, the cables are housed in either PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets, providing durability and safety. Shielding options include Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP), offering protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk.

These patch cords meet or exceed industry standards such as ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 and ISO/IEC 11801. Depending on the category, they support bandwidths and speeds suitable for a range of applications: up to 100 MHz and 1 Gbps for Cat 5e, up to 250 MHz and 1 Gbps for Cat 6, and up to 500 MHz and 10 Gbps for Cat 6A. Available in various colors for easy identification, the D-Link 5 Meter Patch Cords are a versatile choice for both office and home network environments.
