Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second with a bandwidth rating of 350 MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications. The stranded copper conductors enhance cable flexibility while maintaining electrical performance over the 6-foot length.
The RJ45 connectors utilize a standard 8P8C pinout with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable connectivity and reduce insertion loss. The 24 AWG wire gauge provides a balance of current-carrying capacity and mechanical strength for typical patch cable duties.

FAQ
What network speeds does this Cat5e cable support?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) with a bandwidth rating of 350 MHz. It is fully compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet standards, making it suitable for most office and home network applications that require reliable high-speed connectivity.
What are the advantages of gold-plated connectors?
The gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors provide superior corrosion resistance compared to standard nickel or tin plating. This maintains optimal electrical conductivity over time, reduces signal attenuation, and ensures reliable network connections even in environments with varying humidity levels or temperature fluctuations.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the RJ45 connectors lacking a protective rubber or plastic boot covering the connector latch. This design makes the connectors more compact and easier to insert and remove in high-density port configurations where space between adjacent ports is limited. It simplifies installation and maintenance in crowded network racks and patch panels.
What is the benefit of stranded conductors in a patch cable?
Stranded conductors consist of multiple thin wires twisted together, making the cable more flexible and resistant to breakage from repeated bending or movement. This flexibility is particularly valuable for patch cables that are frequently handled, rerouted, or connected and disconnected during network maintenance, equipment changes, or temporary installations.
