Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable meets industry standards for Ethernet networking, supporting data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps at 100 MHz bandwidth. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference in typical office or data center environments.
The RJ-45 connectors are designed with a snagless boot to prevent accidental disconnection and protect the latch during cable management. Gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring consistent performance over the cable's lifetime.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Cat5e cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) with a bandwidth of 100 MHz. It is suitable for most Ethernet networking applications, including internet connectivity, file transfers, and streaming in business environments.
Are both ends of the cable the same type of connector?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has a single RJ-45 connector with gold plating, making the cable symmetrical and suitable for standard Ethernet connections between devices like computers, switches, and modems.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, ports, or equipment during installation or movement. This design reduces the risk of damage to the connector and makes cable management easier in tight spaces.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It does not have additional shielding layers, which makes it more flexible and cost-effective for typical indoor use where electromagnetic interference is minimal, such as in offices or data centers.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with network devices and modems that use standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports. This includes computers, routers, switches, network-attached storage (NAS), printers, and VoIP phones, providing reliable connectivity for various networking setups.
Does the cable come with a warranty?
Yes, this cable is backed by a lifetime limited warranty from C2G. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring long-term reliability and support for your networking investments.
