Product Features
Technical Overview
This patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction, which is standard for most indoor Ethernet applications, offering a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. The RJ-45 connectors are equipped with 50-micron gold-plated contacts to enhance conductivity and resist oxidation, reducing signal loss over time.
The snagless boot design protects the connector clips from catching on other cables or equipment during installation, facilitating easier routing and reducing the risk of damage. With a length of 50 feet (15.24 meters), it provides ample reach for connecting devices across rooms or in rack setups, while maintaining compliance with RoHS environmental standards.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Cat5e patch cable supports data transmission speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) over distances up to 100 meters, making it suitable for high-speed Ethernet networks in offices, homes, and data centers.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors, providing a straightforward plug-and-play solution for connecting network devices like computers, switches, and routers without needing adapters.
What does 'snagless' mean for this patch cable?
Snagless refers to the protective boot on the RJ-45 connectors that prevents the clip from catching on other cables or equipment during installation. This design makes routing easier and reduces the risk of damage to the connectors.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, which is standard for most indoor Ethernet applications. It does not have additional shielding, making it cost-effective and suitable for environments without high electromagnetic interference.
