Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports Ethernet networking standards up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over distances up to 100 meters. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides reliable performance for most indoor networking applications without the need for additional grounding.
The cable meets Category 5e specifications for crosstalk and attenuation, ensuring stable data transmission for voice, video, and data networks. The RJ-45 connectors use a standard 8P8C pinout compatible with most Ethernet ports on switches, routers, computers, and other network devices.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design features with reliable performance for everyday networking needs. The snagless boot and durable construction make it a versatile choice for both permanent installations and temporary setups.
Snagless Connector Protection
The molded snagless boots prevent the RJ-45 connector clips from catching on other cables, ports, or rack components during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of broken clips and simplifies cable management in dense environments.
- Prevents connector damage
- Easier cable routing
- Reduces installation time
Gold-Plated Contacts
50-micron gold plating on the connector contacts ensures excellent electrical conductivity while providing corrosion resistance. This maintains signal integrity over the cable's lifetime, reducing packet loss and network errors.
- Optimal conductivity
- Corrosion resistant
- Long-term reliability
Deployment / Use Cases
This 15-foot Cat5e patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices within rack cabinets, between workstations and wall outlets, or in server room environments where moderate cable lengths are required. The green color provides visual differentiation for cable identification and organization.
Common applications include connecting computers to network switches, linking routers to modems, extending connections between patch panels, and supporting VoIP phones, printers, and other networked peripherals. The cable works well in office buildings, educational institutions, retail environments, and home networks where Gigabit Ethernet is sufficient.
Office Network Patching
Connect workstations to wall outlets or directly to switches in open office layouts. The 15-foot length provides flexibility for desk arrangements while the snagless design prevents damage during frequent reconfigurations.
Data Center Connections
Use for short runs between servers and top-of-rack switches or within network racks. The green color helps differentiate cable purposes in complex cable management systems.
