Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e cable supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) over copper, with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors that provide flexibility and durability. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction includes crosstalk protection to keep Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) within acceptable limits, ensuring stable data transmission.
The cable is built with high-quality components, including a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket rated CM for general-purpose use in plenum spaces. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors enhance conductivity and resist oxidation, while the snagless boots and strain relief features extend cable life in high-traffic environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design with robust construction to deliver consistent performance in network deployments. The gray color allows for departmental color coding, while the lifetime warranty underscores its durability and reliability.
