Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable operates as an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, making it suitable for most indoor networking applications where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The 20-foot length offers flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances without signal degradation.
The RJ-45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design prevents the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment during installation and maintenance.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This C2G patch cable combines practical design features with reliable performance for everyday networking needs. The snagless boot design significantly reduces installation headaches by preventing connector latches from catching on rack edges or other cables.
Enhanced Durability
Molded strain relief at both connector ends protects the cable from pull-out damage and extends the cable's service life in frequently reconfigured environments.
- Reinforced connector joints
- Reduced cable fatigue
- Improved bend radius management
Signal Integrity
Minimized near-end crosstalk (NEXT) design ensures cleaner signal transmission between connected devices, supporting stable network performance for data-intensive applications.
- Reduced electromagnetic interference
- Consistent data transfer rates
- Reliable Gigabit Ethernet support
Deployment / Use Cases
This 20-foot Cat5e patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices within server racks, workstations, or between networking equipment in office environments. The moderate length provides sufficient reach for most desktop-to-wall or equipment-to-patch-panel connections.
Common applications include connecting computers to wall jacks, linking switches to routers in network closets, attaching printers to network ports, and extending connections between adjacent equipment racks. The black color blends discreetly with most office equipment and cable management systems.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to wall outlets or directly to switches for reliable Ethernet access in business environments.
Equipment Interconnection
Link routers, switches, and servers within network racks or between adjacent equipment enclosures.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Category 5e patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) networks, providing data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbps. It is also fully backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and 10BASE-T networks, making it suitable for most modern office and home networking applications.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Cat5e patch cable can support Power over Ethernet applications. The UTP construction and Category 5e specifications provide adequate current carrying capacity for standard PoE implementations such as IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at, making it suitable for powering devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras.
What does 'snagless boot' mean on this network cable?
The snagless boot is a protective cover over the RJ-45 connector latch that prevents it from catching on other cables, rack edges, or equipment during installation and removal. This design reduces connector damage and makes cable management easier in dense networking environments where frequent reconfiguration occurs.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial environments?
No, this is an indoor-rated UTP (unshielded twisted pair) patch cable with a standard PVC jacket. It is designed for office, data center, and home networking environments where it will not be exposed to moisture, extreme temperatures, or significant electromagnetic interference. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor or direct burial cables would be required.
What devices can I connect with this 20-foot patch cable?
This cable can connect any network devices with RJ-45 ports, including computers, laptops, routers, switches, network printers, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The 20-foot length provides flexibility for connections between equipment in the same room or adjacent areas.
What is the warranty coverage for this C2G network cable?
C2G provides a lifetime limited warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's construction quality and durability for long-term networking applications.
