FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed of this cable?
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications in business networks. It ensures reliable performance for high-speed data transmission between devices like switches, routers, and computers.
What types of connectors does this cable have?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends, each with gold-plated contacts for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance. This standard connector type is compatible with most network equipment, including patch panels, wall plates, and Ethernet ports.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional shielding layers. It relies on twisted pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference, making it effective for typical office and data center environments where shielding is not required.
What does the 'CM' jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates that the cable is suitable for general-purpose use in commercial buildings, such as in plenum spaces or risers. It meets fire safety standards for reduced flame spread and smoke generation in indoor installations.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this cable is PoE compatible, allowing it to deliver both data and power to connected devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The 24 AWG conductors and construction support efficient power transmission alongside data signals.
What is included with the cable?
The cable is sold as a single unit with no additional accessories. It comes ready to use out of the package, featuring the 2-foot Cat5e patch cable with RJ45 connectors, snagless boots, and an orange PVC jacket for immediate deployment in your network setup.
