Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports Ethernet networking standards, delivering data transfer speeds suitable for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) applications. The cable's construction includes twisted-pair wiring that minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal quality over short to medium distances.
The RJ-45 connectors are molded directly onto the cable ends, providing a secure connection that resists pull-out and wear. The gold-flash plating on the contacts reduces oxidation and ensures consistent electrical conductivity, which is critical for maintaining network performance over time.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines practical design with durable construction to meet the demands of everyday networking. The non-booted connectors allow for easy insertion and removal in crowded patch panels, reducing the risk of snagging and simplifying cable management.
Enhanced Durability
The gold-flash plating on the RJ-45 connectors provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard nickel plating, extending the cable's lifespan in various environmental conditions.
- Resists oxidation and wear
- Maintains signal integrity over time
- Suitable for high-use environments
Visual Identification
The bright yellow jacket makes cable tracing and organization straightforward, helping IT professionals quickly identify connections during installations, upgrades, or troubleshooting sessions.
- Easy to distinguish in cable bundles
- Supports efficient network management
- Reduces setup and maintenance time
Deployment / Use Cases
This 2-foot Cat5e patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices within racks, cabinets, or desktop setups where short cable runs are required. Its compact length minimizes cable clutter while providing sufficient reach for adjacent equipment.
Common applications include linking switches to routers, connecting computers to wall outlets, or patching between patch panels and active devices in server rooms. The cable's compatibility with standard network devices ensures seamless integration into existing infrastructure without requiring adapters or configuration changes.
Office Networking
Use this cable to connect workstations to network ports, support VoIP phones, or link printers and scanners to the local network. The non-booted design fits easily behind desks and in cable trays.
Data Center Patching
Deploy in high-density environments to interconnect servers, storage units, and networking hardware within the same rack or adjacent racks. The yellow color aids in port identification and cable tracing.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e patch cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) for Gigabit Ethernet networks, as well as Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) connections. The cable is rated for frequencies up to 350 MHz, which ensures reliable performance for typical office and data center networking applications over its 2-foot length.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices?
Yes, this Cat5e patch cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors provide sufficient current-carrying capacity for PoE standards like IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, allowing you to power devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, or security cameras while transmitting data through the same cable.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the design of the RJ-45 connectors, which lack a protective rubber or plastic boot covering the connector latch. This streamlined design makes the connectors slimmer and easier to insert and remove in crowded patch panels or tight spaces, reducing the risk of snagging on adjacent cables or equipment.
Is this cable compatible with all standard network equipment?
Yes, this patch cable is fully compatible with any network device that uses RJ-45 Ethernet ports, including switches, routers, computers, printers, and network-attached storage. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends follow industry-standard pinouts, ensuring plug-and-play connectivity without requiring special drivers or configuration.
