Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to Category 5e standards, this cable supports bandwidth up to 350 MHz, making it suitable for Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) applications. The 24 AWG copper conductors provide optimal conductivity, and the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
The RJ45 connectors are molded directly onto the cable ends for durability, with eight-position, eight-contact (8P8C) configuration that aligns with TIA/EIA-568 wiring standards. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of network hardware without requiring additional adapters or configuration.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers essential performance and reliability for everyday networking needs, with several features that enhance installation and long-term use.
Durable Connectors
The gold-flash plating on the RJ45 connectors provides excellent corrosion resistance and maintains signal quality over repeated insertions and removals.
- Enhanced conductivity
- Reduced oxidation
- Long-lasting performance
Easy Identification
The blue jacket allows for quick visual identification in complex cable setups, simplifying troubleshooting and organization.
- Color-coded management
- Reduced installation time
- Improved maintenance
Deployment / Use Cases
This Cat5e patch cable is ideal for short-distance connections within rack cabinets, workstations, and network closets. Its 2-foot length makes it perfect for linking adjacent devices without excess cable clutter.
Common applications include connecting a computer to a wall jack, linking a switch to a router in a small office, or patching between ports in a server rack. The non-booted design is particularly useful in tight spaces where booted connectors might snag, ensuring smooth cable management in high-density environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Category 5e cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its 2-foot length. It is backward compatible with Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and older Ethernet standards, making it suitable for most office and home network environments where high-speed connectivity is required.
Are both ends of this patch cable the same type of connector?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors. Each end has one RJ45 Network - Male connector, making this a straight-through cable ideal for connecting devices like computers to switches or routers without crossover functionality.
What does 'non-booted' mean for this patch cable?
Non-booted refers to the absence of a protective boot or cover over the RJ45 connector. This design makes the connector slimmer and easier to insert and remove in tight spaces, such as high-density patch panels, without the boot snagging on adjacent ports or cables.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments like offices, data centers, and homes. It does not have specific shielding or jacket ratings for outdoor, wet, or extreme industrial conditions. For outdoor applications, consider cables with appropriate weatherproofing and UV-resistant jackets.
