Product Features
Technical Overview
This Axiom patch cable meets Category 5e specifications, providing enhanced performance for data networking applications. The 20-foot length offers practical reach between devices in server rooms, offices, and data centers while maintaining signal integrity. The RJ-45 connectors feature a standard 8P8C configuration with gold-plated contacts that minimize insertion loss and provide reliable electrical connections.
The cable construction includes stranded copper conductors that offer better flexibility than solid core alternatives, making it ideal for patch cord applications where frequent movement occurs. The molded boots provide additional protection against connector damage and cable pull-out, while the strain relief design prevents wire fatigue at the termination points.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) with its 350 MHz bandwidth rating. It is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and 10BASE-T (10 Mbps) networks, making it suitable for most standard business networking applications where high-speed data transfer is required between network devices.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has a standard 8P8C configuration designed to connect to network ports on switches, routers, computers, and other Ethernet-enabled devices. This straight-through configuration is the most common for patch cables connecting different types of network equipment.
What advantages do the molded boots provide?
The molded boots offer several practical benefits: they protect the RJ-45 connectors from physical damage during installation and use, provide strain relief to prevent cable pull-out from the connector housing, and extend the cable's service life by reinforcing the termination points. This design is particularly valuable in environments where cables are frequently connected, disconnected, or repositioned.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is an indoor patch cable designed for controlled environments like offices, server rooms, and data centers. While it features durable construction with molded boots and strain relief, it does not have weatherproofing or UV-resistant properties required for outdoor installations. For outdoor networking applications, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with appropriate jacketing would be necessary.
