Product Features
Technical Overview
This Category 5e patch cable supports Ethernet standards including 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, delivering data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps over its 20-foot length. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating ensures minimal signal degradation, while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion-resistant contacts for consistent electrical connectivity. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors balance current carrying capacity with flexibility, suitable for frequent movement or temporary installations.
The non-booted connector design eliminates the protective rubber boot, reducing bulk and allowing easier insertion and removal in densely packed port configurations. This feature is particularly useful in server racks and network switches where adjacent ports may be closely spaced. The cable's black color helps with cable management aesthetics, blending into most environments while providing clear identification in structured cabling systems.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines practical design elements with reliable performance for network professionals and IT departments. The non-booted connectors facilitate quick connections in space-constrained environments, while the stranded construction ensures the cable remains flexible through repeated use. Gold-plated contacts maintain signal integrity by reducing oxidation, supporting consistent network performance over time.
Durable Construction
The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors withstand bending and flexing without compromising electrical performance, making this cable suitable for both permanent installations and temporary setups.
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
- Gold-plated contacts for reliability
- Black PVC jacket for durability
Connectivity Simplicity
With identical RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, this cable provides straightforward plug-and-play connectivity between network devices, switches, routers, and patch panels.
- Standard RJ-45 connectors
- Non-booted design for easy access
- Compatible with most network equipment
Deployment / Use Cases
This 20-foot CAT5e patch cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios where reliable Ethernet connectivity is required. Its length makes it suitable for connecting devices within server racks, linking workstations to wall outlets, or extending network connections in office environments. The non-booted design is particularly advantageous in high-density patch panels where space between ports is limited.
Common applications include connecting computers to network switches, linking VoIP phones to PoE switches, extending connections from patch panels to active equipment, and providing temporary network links during equipment reconfiguration or events. The cable's 1 Gbps capability supports most business networking needs, from internet access and file transfers to VoIP communications and basic video streaming.
Office Network Infrastructure
Connect desktop computers, printers, and network-attached storage devices to switches or routers in commercial office settings where reliable wired connections are preferred over wireless alternatives.
Data Center Patch Connections
Use in server racks to connect servers to top-of-rack switches or link patch panels to network equipment, taking advantage of the non-booted connectors for easy access in crowded port configurations.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this CAT5e cable?
This Axiom CAT5e patch cable supports Ethernet standards including 10BASE-T (10 Mbps), 100BASE-TX (100 Mbps), and 1000BASE-T (1 Gbps). The 350 MHz bandwidth rating and 24 AWG stranded conductors maintain signal integrity for reliable gigabit Ethernet performance over the full 20-foot length, making it suitable for most office and home network applications requiring fast data transfers.
What does 'non-booted' mean for the RJ-45 connectors?
Non-booted connectors lack the protective rubber boot that typically surrounds the connector latch. This design reduces the connector's overall size, making it easier to insert and remove in densely packed port configurations like network switches or patch panels. While booted connectors offer extra strain relief, non-booted versions provide better access in tight spaces and are preferred for installations where frequent connection changes occur.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this CAT5e patch cable with 24 AWG stranded conductors supports Power over Ethernet applications. The cable can deliver both data and power to compatible devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical connections for PoE transmission, though actual power delivery capacity depends on the PoE injector or switch specifications rather than the cable itself.
What is the advantage of gold-plated connectors?
Gold plating on the RJ-45 connectors provides superior corrosion resistance compared to nickel or tin plating. This maintains optimal electrical conductivity over time by preventing oxidation that can degrade signal quality. The gold plating ensures consistent network performance with minimal packet loss, making it particularly valuable in environments with variable humidity or where connections may remain in place for extended periods.
