Cabo de rede Reolink CAT5 18 m RLA-CBE1 — cabo patch Ethernet para dispositivos IP

The Reolink CAT5 network cable, 18 m (RLA-CBE1), is an Ethernet patch cable designed for wired connections of IP devices such as network cameras, routers, switches and PoE-enabled equipment. This Cat5 cable provides a stable physical link over an 18-metre run for data transmission and supports typical Ethernet speeds associated with Category 5 cabling, making it suitable for basic LAN and surveillance installations in homes and small business environments.

Advantages

The cable delivers consistent wired performance over a medium-length run, reducing wireless interference and offering predictable latency for networked devices. Its Cat5 construction provides standard twisted-pair shielding and conductor quality for reliable signal integrity. The 18 m length allows flexible device placement without intermediate repeaters, and the cable is compatible with standard RJ45 connectors and PoE setups where device and switch power standards permit.

Suitable for

• Connecting IP security cameras to PoE switches or network injectors
• Wiring routers, switches, and access points within homes or small offices
• Establishing wired connections for NAS devices, PCs and media players
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs where an 18 m Cat5 cable fits routing requirements

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5 (Category 5) suitable for standard Ethernet networking
• Length: 18 metres
• Conductor type: twisted-pair copper conductors (unshielded or shielded depends on variant)
• Connector type: RJ45-compatible ends for Ethernet patch connections
• Compatibility: supports Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet when used with PoE-capable devices and power sources

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end of the cable to the Ethernet port of your IP camera, router, switch or network device and the other end to the corresponding port on a PoE switch, injector or network terminal. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. For PoE power delivery, verify that both the network switch or injector and the powered device support the same PoE standard and power requirements. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, excessive tension and sources of electrical interference to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and heavy compression of the cable along the run, keep it away from high-voltage power lines, and use cable management clips or conduits for a neat installation. If higher network speeds or longer runs are required, consider upgrading to a Cat5e or Cat6 cable to support greater bandwidth and reduced crosstalk.
