FAQ
What is the maximum data speed this CAT5e cable supports?
This Axiom CAT5e patch cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating ensures stable performance for voice, data, and video transmission across standard network infrastructures up to 100 meters in length.
Are both ends of this cable RJ45 male connectors?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ45 male connectors with gold-plated contacts. Each end has one RJ45 network male connector, making this a straight-through patch cable suitable for connecting computers to switches, routers to patch panels, or any standard Ethernet device connections.
What is the purpose of the molded boots on this patch cable?
The molded strain-relief boots reinforce the connection point between the cable and RJ45 connectors, preventing wire breakage from bending, twisting, or pulling. This design extends cable lifespan in environments with frequent plugging and unplugging, maintaining signal integrity by protecting the critical connector junction.
Can this purple cable be used for outdoor installations?
This is an indoor-rated patch cable designed for office, data center, and home networking environments. While the purple PVC jacket provides durability for indoor use, it is not rated for direct burial, UV exposure, or extreme weather conditions. For outdoor applications, specifically rated outdoor Ethernet cables with additional weatherproofing are recommended.
