The NetiX UTP patch cable is a ready-made 15-metre grey Ethernet lead with moulded RJ45 plugs on each end, for longer runs where you do not want to buy a box of cable and crimp your own. Fifteen metres covers a run from the router in a lounge to a study down the passage, or from a server cupboard to desks across an open-plan office. It is a 4-pair unshielded cable wired to the T568B standard, suitable for 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T and Gigabit (1000BASE-T) networks in homes and small offices, connecting fibre routers, switches, access points, PCs, smart TVs, consoles and printers. Esquire specifies 24 AWG conductors and gold-plated contacts; it is sold as CAT5e on Esquire's mailer. The PVC jacket is general-purpose (CMG) rated and the light-grey colour blends with most office cabling. Being pre-terminated and tested for near-end crosstalk, it is quick to lay along a skirting board or through a ceiling and plug straight in. Supplied in retail packaging; Esquire lists no warranty.
