Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second with a bandwidth rating of 350 MHz, making it suitable for most standard Ethernet applications including 10/100/1000BASE-T networks. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure consistent signal integrity over the full 50-foot length.
Both ends feature standard RJ-45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The molded strain relief boots protect the connector joints from physical stress and help prevent dust ingress when connected.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom patch cable delivers essential performance and durability features that make it a practical choice for network infrastructure deployments. The combination of quality materials and thoughtful design elements ensures reliable operation in various IT environments.
Durable Construction
The molded strain relief boots provide added protection at the critical connection points, reducing the risk of cable damage from bending or pulling during installation and maintenance.
Visual Identification
The bright orange color allows for quick visual identification in cable trays, racks, and under-desk installations, simplifying cable management and troubleshooting processes.
Comprehensive Compatibility
As a standard Cat5e Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors, this cable works with virtually all network devices that support 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet connections.
Deployment / Use Cases
This 50-foot Cat5e patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in office environments, data centers, educational facilities, and small to medium business networks. The extended length provides flexibility for routing around obstacles or between equipment that isn't immediately adjacent.
Common applications include connecting workstations to wall jacks or network switches, linking printers to network infrastructure, extending connections between network cabinets, and providing temporary network access during events or installations. The cable's flexibility makes it particularly useful in patch panel environments where cables may need to bend around corners or through cable management systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this Cat5e cable supports?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (1000 Mbps) when used with compatible network equipment. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating ensures reliable performance for 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications, making it suitable for most business and office networking needs.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end has one standard RJ-45 network connector with gold-plated contacts, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting computers, printers, and other network devices to switches, routers, or wall jacks.
What are the benefits of the molded boots on this cable?
The molded strain relief boots provide several practical benefits: they protect the delicate connection point between the cable and connector from bending stress, help prevent dust and debris from entering the connector when plugged in, and extend the cable's lifespan by reducing wear at this critical junction. This design is particularly valuable in environments where cables may be frequently connected and disconnected.
Can this cable be used for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
Yes, as a standard Category 5e Ethernet cable with 24 AWG conductors, this cable is suitable for Power over Ethernet applications. The stranded construction and adequate conductor gauge can support PoE standards for devices like VoIP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras that receive both data and power through a single Ethernet connection.
