Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable utilizes unshielded twisted pair (UTP) architecture with all four pairs terminated to RJ-45 connectors. The cable maintains proper twist ratios throughout its length to minimize crosstalk and ensure signal integrity at the rated 350 MHz bandwidth.
The molded RJ-45 connectors feature integrated strain-relief boots that protect the termination points from physical stress during installation and routine maintenance. This design prevents connector damage and maintains reliable electrical contacts over the cable's service life.
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.
