Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports Ethernet standards up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over distances up to 100 meters, with the 6-foot length ideal for patch panel to device connections. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction reduces crosstalk and interference, ensuring stable data transmission for everyday networking tasks.
The RJ-45 connectors on both ends are equipped with 50-micron gold-plated contacts, which enhance conductivity and resist oxidation for long-term reliability. The snagless boot design protects the connector clips from breaking when the cable is pulled through tight spaces or around obstacles.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical features with robust construction to deliver consistent network performance. The snagless boots and durable jacket make it suitable for high-traffic areas where cables are frequently moved or adjusted.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Cat5e patch cable supports data speeds up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gigabit per second) for Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is designed to handle high-speed data transmission for tasks like file transfers, video streaming, and online collaboration, making it suitable for most modern office and home networking needs.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless boots on the RJ-45 connectors prevent the plastic clips from catching on other cables, equipment, or obstacles during routing. This reduces the risk of clip breakage and makes it easier to pull the cable through tight spaces, saving time and minimizing damage in busy network environments like data centers or office setups.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is an indoor UTP patch cable with a standard PVC jacket. It is designed for use in controlled environments such as offices, homes, and data centers. For outdoor applications, you would need a cable with specific weatherproofing and shielding to protect against moisture and temperature extremes.
What warranty does this cable come with?
StarTech.com backs this patch cable with a lifetime warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. This provides long-term assurance of quality and reliability, reducing replacement costs and ensuring consistent network performance over time.
