Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e UTP patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, which provides effective noise reduction and stable performance for most standard networking applications. The 25-foot length offers flexibility in cable routing across desks, through cable management systems, or between equipment racks without requiring intermediate connections.
The RJ-45 male connectors are precision-molded with gold-plated contacts to ensure consistent signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The snagless boot design protects the connector latch from catching on other cables or equipment, reducing the risk of damage during frequent handling or in crowded cable bundles.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical length with durable construction to deliver reliable network performance. The snagless boots are a standout feature that enhances cable management and reduces downtime caused by accidental disconnections.
Durable Connectors
The RJ-45 connectors feature robust housing and gold-plated contacts for long-term reliability and consistent electrical performance.
- Gold-plated contacts reduce corrosion
- Molded strain relief prevents cable damage
Easy Identification
The white color makes this cable easily distinguishable in cable bundles, simplifying network troubleshooting and maintenance.
- Quick visual identification
- Simplifies cable management
Deployment / Use Cases
This 25-foot Cat5e patch cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios where reliable Ethernet connectivity is required. Its length makes it particularly useful for connections that span moderate distances without requiring wall-mounted jacks or additional patch panels.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting workstations to network switches in office environments, linking network equipment in server racks or data centers, and extending network connections in conference rooms or temporary setups. The cable is also suitable for connecting IP phones, network printers, and other peripherals that require stable network access.
Office Networking
Connect computers to wall jacks or directly to switches in typical office configurations where 25 feet provides adequate reach under desks or through cable trays.
Equipment Room Connections
Link switches, routers, or servers in equipment racks where the snagless design prevents accidental disconnections during maintenance or reconfiguration.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Category 5e UTP patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) when used within its specified 100-meter maximum distance. It is backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps networks and suitable for most standard Ethernet applications including internet access, file transfers, and network printing.
What are the advantages of snagless boots on patch cables?
Snagless boots protect the RJ-45 connector latch from catching on other cables, equipment, or cable management hardware during installation or maintenance. This design reduces the risk of accidental disconnections, latch breakage, and network downtime, making these cables particularly valuable in crowded server racks or frequently accessed network connections.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial environments?
This is a standard indoor UTP patch cable with a PVC jacket designed for office, data center, and home networking environments. It is not rated for outdoor use, direct burial, or harsh industrial conditions that require specialized waterproofing, UV resistance, or additional shielding against extreme temperatures or physical damage.
What does the lifetime warranty cover for this patch cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the normal lifespan of the product. This warranty ensures replacement or repair if the cable fails due to manufacturing issues, though it does not cover damage from improper use, modification, or accidental physical damage during installation or handling.
