Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 5e specifications, suitable for Ethernet networks up to 1 Gigabit speeds. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability, making the cable easy to route in tight spaces without compromising performance.
The RJ-45 connectors are terminated with precision to maintain proper pin alignment and reduce crosstalk. Gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and longevity, while the booted design prevents snagging and cable bend issues.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable combines robust construction with practical features for reliable network performance. The molded boots and strain relief extend cable life by reducing stress on the connector joints, a common point of failure in high-traffic areas.
Durable Design
The booted connectors and stranded wiring resist physical wear, ensuring the cable remains functional in dynamic office or data center environments.
- Molded boots protect against snags
- Strain relief prevents cable pull-out
- Stranded conductors for flexibility
Enhanced Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide superior signal integrity and corrosion resistance, supporting consistent data transmission across network devices.
- Gold plating for reliable contacts
- RJ-45 male connectors standard
- Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet
Deployment / Use Cases
This 14-foot Cat5e patch cable is ideal for connecting computers, printers, switches, and routers in office networks, small businesses, and home offices. Its length offers flexibility for devices spaced moderately apart, such as between a desk and a wall jack or within a server rack.
The purple color aids in cable identification and organization, useful in multi-cable installations where color-coding simplifies maintenance. The cable's booted design makes it suitable for environments where cables are frequently moved or rearranged, such as in temporary setups or conference rooms.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to network switches or wall outlets with reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance, supporting daily business applications and internet access.
Equipment Patching
Use in server racks or data closets to link networking hardware, where the strain relief and booted connectors handle tight bends and repeated connections.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps). It is rated for 350 MHz frequency, which aligns with Cat5e standards for reliable performance in office and data networks, handling tasks like file transfers, video streaming, and general internet use without bottlenecks.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ-45 network male connector with gold plating, making the cable symmetrical and suitable for standard Ethernet ports on devices like computers, switches, routers, and network printers.
How does the molded boot design benefit the cable?
The molded boots provide strain relief by reinforcing the connection point between the cable and connector. This reduces the risk of wire breakage or connector damage from bending, pulling, or frequent plugging and unplugging, extending the cable's lifespan in active networking environments.
What is the advantage of gold-plated connectors?
Gold plating on the RJ-45 contacts improves conductivity and resists corrosion, ensuring stable signal transmission over time. This results in fewer connectivity issues, reduced data errors, and longer-lasting performance compared to non-plated or lower-quality connectors.
