Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable meets Category 5e specifications, supporting data rates up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its 3-foot length. The 350 MHz bandwidth ensures consistent performance for network traffic, while the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling.
The RJ45 connectors feature gold-plated contacts to maintain signal integrity and resist oxidation, which is critical for maintaining network reliability over time. The cable is unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, suitable for typical office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal.
Key Product Advantages
The Axiom Cat5e patch cable combines practical design with robust performance features. The stranded wire construction allows for greater flexibility compared to solid-core cables, making it ideal for patch panel connections and desktop setups where cables may be moved or adjusted frequently.
Durable Construction
Molded strain-relief boots protect the connector junctions from damage during installation and frequent use, extending the cable's lifespan in high-traffic networking setups.
Enhanced Connectivity
Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure low resistance and reliable electrical connections, supporting stable network performance for devices like switches, routers, and computers.
Deployment / Use Cases
This 3-foot Cat5e patch cable is optimized for short-distance network connections where space is limited but performance cannot be compromised. Its length makes it perfect for connecting devices in rack-mounted environments, linking switches to patch panels, or joining computers to wall outlets in office workstations.
Common applications include connecting network switches to servers in data centers, linking routers to modems in small office setups, and providing temporary connections for network testing and troubleshooting. The cable's flexibility and durable boots make it suitable for environments where cables are frequently plugged and unplugged during equipment maintenance or reconfiguration.
Office Networking
Connect computers to network switches or wall ports in cubicle and desk arrangements where 3-foot cables provide neat, organized cable management without excess slack.
Data Center Patching
Use in server racks to connect switches to patch panels or between adjacent equipment, taking advantage of the precise length to maintain clean cable runs and proper airflow.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for Ethernet networks. The 350 MHz bandwidth ensures reliable performance for Gigabit Ethernet applications, making it suitable for connecting modern network equipment that requires high-speed data transfer between devices.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors, creating a straight-through patch cable configuration. Each end has one RJ45 network connector with gold-plated contacts, making it compatible with standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices without requiring crossover configuration.
What are the benefits of the molded boots on this patch cable?
The molded strain-relief boots protect the cable-to-connector junctions from bending stress and physical damage during installation and frequent use. This design prevents the wires from breaking at the termination points, extends the cable's operational lifespan, and reduces failures in environments where cables are regularly plugged and unplugged or moved during equipment maintenance.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, this Cat5e patch cable supports Power over Ethernet applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors can carry both data and power for PoE devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras. The cable meets the electrical requirements for standard PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) implementations commonly used in modern network deployments.
