Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards, ensuring compatibility with 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet networks. The RJ45 male connectors on both ends feature 8-position, 8-contact (8P8C) modular plugs with gold-plated contacts that resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and reduce breakage risk compared to solid core cables.
The molded boots provide strain relief by absorbing tension at the connector junction, preventing wire pull-out and connector damage. This construction is ideal for high-traffic areas where cables are frequently moved or repositioned. The cable's 350 MHz frequency rating supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, though this 20-foot length is optimized for patch panel to device connections.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design with robust performance for everyday networking needs. The molded boots and strain relief system extend cable life by preventing connector damage, while the gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connectivity with minimal signal loss.
Durable Construction
The booted and molded design protects connectors from physical stress, making it suitable for environments where cables are frequently handled or moved.
- Strain relief prevents wire pull-out
- Dust protection when plugged in
- Flexible stranded conductors
Reliable Performance
Gold-plated contacts and Cat5e certification deliver stable Gigabit Ethernet performance for network devices, with compatibility across standard networking equipment.
- Supports up to 1 Gbps speeds
- 350 MHz bandwidth

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its 350 MHz bandwidth. It is fully compatible with 10/100/1000BASE-T network standards, making it suitable for most office and home networking applications that require reliable high-speed connectivity.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 network male plug with gold-plated contacts, making it a straight-through patch cable ideal for connecting network devices like computers to switches or routers without crossover configuration.
What are the benefits of the molded boots on this cable?
The molded boots provide strain relief by absorbing tension at the connector junction, preventing wire pull-out and connector damage. They also protect the plug and socket from dust when plugged in, extending the cable's lifespan in environments where cables are frequently moved or repositioned.
Can this cable be used for outdoor or industrial applications?
This cable is designed for indoor use in standard office, data center, or home networking environments. While it features durable construction with stranded conductors and molded boots, it does not have weatherproofing or industrial-grade shielding, so it is not recommended for outdoor or harsh industrial settings.
