Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 5e specifications, ensuring compatibility with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. The 350 MHz frequency rating supports high-speed data transmission with minimal crosstalk, while the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides reliable performance in typical indoor environments. The RJ-45 connectors are designed to snap securely into standard Ethernet ports, maintaining a stable connection.
The cable's stranded copper conductors enhance flexibility compared to solid-core cables, making it easier to route in tight spaces. Gold plating on the connector contacts improves conductivity and reduces oxidation over time. The booted design adds an extra layer of protection where the cable meets the connector, preventing wire breakage from bending or pulling.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) at a bandwidth of 350 MHz. It is fully compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks, making it suitable for most office and home networking applications where high-speed connectivity is required.
Can this cable be used to connect a computer directly to a router?
Yes, this cable is ideal for connecting a computer directly to a router, switch, or modem. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends fit standard Ethernet ports, providing a reliable wired connection for internet access or local network communication. Its 1-foot length is perfect for short distances between adjacent devices.
What does the molded boot feature provide?
The molded boot adds strain relief where the cable meets the connector, protecting against bending and pulling that could damage the wires. This design extends the cable's lifespan, especially in environments where cables are frequently plugged and unplugged or routed through tight spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is an indoor patch cable designed for typical office or home environments. It does not have weatherproofing or UV-resistant shielding required for outdoor installations. For outdoor networking, you would need specifically rated cables with appropriate jackets and protection.
