## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5443:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5443:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

When you want a super skinny Ethernet / CAT-5 cable, this noodle-y UTP jumper is only 3mm thick at the center so that it can flex around enclosures easily. This cable is 30cm long, about one imperial foot, comes in Adafruit black. CAT5 means it's great for Ethernet-based LANs and other data networks. UTP means the wires are unshielded - much thinner but not great for ultra-long lengths (that's why it's only 30 cm)

This is a 'straight-thru' cable, not a cross-over cable. If you need an Ethernet cross-over cable, this one won't work.

[We also carry a one-meter-long version here](https://core-electronics.com.au/skinny-ethernet-lan-utp-cat5-cable-3mm-diameter-1-meter-long.html).
