FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e patch cable?
This Category 5e patch cable supports data speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for Gigabit Ethernet applications. It maintains this speed over its entire 10 ft length with minimal signal degradation, making it suitable for high-speed network connections in office and data center environments.
What types of devices is this patch cable compatible with?
The cable is compatible with a wide range of networking equipment including hubs, switches, routers, network adapters, modems, DSL/cable equipment, and patch panels. The standard RJ-45 male connectors work with any device featuring RJ-45 female ports, making it versatile for various twisted-pair network applications.
What is the cable length and how does it affect deployment?
This patch cable measures 10 ft (3.05 m) in length, which is ideal for short-distance connections between network equipment. This length provides sufficient reach for most patch panel applications, rack-to-rack connections, and workstation links while minimizing excess cable that can create clutter in network cabinets.
What material is used for the cable jacket and how durable is it?
The cable features a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket that provides excellent durability and protection against everyday wear. PVC resists abrasion, maintains flexibility over time, and withstands repeated plug/unplug cycles. The gray color helps with cable identification and organization in complex network environments.
What type of warranty comes with this patch cable?
C2G provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat5e patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, giving you long-term confidence in the cable's performance and reliability for critical network connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or harsh environment use?
This patch cable is designed for indoor use in typical office, data center, and home network environments. While the PVC jacket provides good durability, it is not rated for outdoor exposure, direct burial, or extreme environmental conditions. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables would be more appropriate.
