Compatibility
The Panduit UTPCH7BUY is suitable for devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports that support Cat 5e cabling. Compatibility with a particular network speed depends on the connected hardware and the overall network installation.
Check the required cable length and connector type before ordering. This model is a 7-foot blue cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends.
DC Supplies Product Note
For a tidy network installation, check the distance between the connected devices before selecting a patch cord. The 7-foot length is useful where a little extra reach is needed, while the blue jacket can help distinguish this connection from cables of other colours.
