FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Axiom Cat5e patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for Gigabit Ethernet networks. With its 350 MHz bandwidth rating and Category 5e specifications, it provides sufficient performance for most office networking applications including internet access, file transfers, and networked device communications.
What types of devices can I connect with this patch cable?
This patch cable is designed to connect any network devices with RJ-45 Ethernet ports, including computers, laptops, network switches, routers, printers, IP phones, and network-attached storage devices. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends make it compatible with standard Ethernet ports found on most business and consumer networking equipment.
What are the advantages of the non-booted connector design?
The non-booted connector design allows for easier insertion and removal in crowded patch panels and tight spaces where booted connectors might snag or require additional clearance. This feature is particularly useful in data centers, network closets, and equipment racks where multiple cables are densely packed together.
How does the gold plating on the connectors improve performance?
The gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provide superior corrosion resistance compared to nickel or tin plating, ensuring reliable electrical connections over time. Gold plating maintains low contact resistance for optimal signal transmission and reduces the likelihood of connection issues caused by oxidation or environmental factors.
