Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 350 MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable performance in office, data center, or home network setups.
The cable's 100-foot length provides ample reach for connecting network devices like switches, routers, computers, and printers across medium to large rooms or between adjacent racks. The RJ-45 connectors are industry-standard, ensuring compatibility with most network equipment without requiring adapters.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design with robust construction to meet the demands of everyday network connectivity. The molded boots and strain relief minimize wire fatigue at connection points, which is critical for cables that are frequently plugged and unplugged.
Durability & Protection
The booted connectors and stranded copper conductors resist bending and twisting, reducing the risk of internal wire breakage. This makes the cable ideal for temporary installations, testing environments, or areas with high foot traffic.
- Molded boots for strain relief
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
- Gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity
Environmental Considerations
Manufactured with environmentally friendly materials, this cable supports sustainable IT practices without compromising performance. The blue jacket allows for easy color-coding in cable management systems.
Deployment / Use Cases
This 100-foot Cat5e patch cable is versatile for various networking scenarios where extended reach and reliable connectivity are required. Its length makes it particularly useful for spanning distances that standard patch cables cannot cover.
Common applications include connecting network switches to wall jacks in conference rooms, linking workstations in open-plan offices, or providing temporary connections during equipment reconfiguration. The cable is also suitable for home networks, especially in multi-story buildings or large entertainment setups.
Office & Commercial Use
Ideal for connecting devices in server rooms, under-floor cabling, or overhead trays. The blue color helps differentiate it from power or other data cables in complex installations.
Temporary & Testing Setups
Perfect for network troubleshooting, trade shows, or temporary office expansions. The durable construction withstands repeated deployment and storage.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 350 MHz, which is suitable for both Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) networks. It handles typical office and home networking requirements efficiently.
Are the connectors on this cable gold-plated?
Yes, the RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts. Gold plating reduces oxidation and ensures reliable electrical connections over time, which is especially important in environments with fluctuating humidity or temperature.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
This cable is designed for indoor use. The PVC jacket provides protection against abrasion and mild environmental exposure, but it is not rated for direct burial, prolonged UV exposure, or extreme weather conditions. For outdoor applications, consider a cable specifically rated for exterior use.
What does the 'molded boot' feature provide?
The molded boots are integrated strain-relief sleeves that protect the cable where it meets the RJ-45 connectors. They prevent sharp bending and reduce stress on the internal wires, which extends the cable's lifespan in scenarios where it is frequently moved or plugged/unplugged.
