Vericom xpc5u-00103 Cat 5e Patch Cord 2 Foot Black

Product Description

The VERICOM xpc5u-00103 is a CAT 5e patch cord designed for structured cabling and network equipment connections in commercial and residential installations. Terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and fitted with a strain-relief boot, this patch cord provides a reliable copper link between network devices such as switches, patch panels, routers, and wall jacks. At 2 feet in length, it is well suited for short runs in equipment racks, server closets, and desktop workstation setups where cable management and minimal slack are priorities.

This patch cord is intended for use by low-voltage cabling technicians, IT professionals, and electricians working on structured network cabling installations. Typical applications include data center patch fields, telecommunications rooms, and in-wall or rack-mount installations where a short, managed connection between active equipment and a patch panel is required. The black jacket color aids in color-coded cable management schemes commonly used in professional rack environments.

Key Features

• CAT 5e rated for standard 10/100/1000BASE-T network performance
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male termination on both ends
• Strain-relief boot protects the connector latch and reduces stress at the termination point
• 2-foot length designed for short rack and desktop runs
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CAT 5e patch cord for use with RJ-45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and other Ethernet-enabled devices following TIA-568 structured cabling standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or IT professionals and does not require power tools. Verify that both RJ-45 ports are free of debris before seating the connectors. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. Always confirm network device ports are compatible with CAT 5e before installation.
