Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e patch cable supports Ethernet standards up to 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) with a bandwidth of 100 MHz, delivering data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters. The unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction provides reliable performance in typical office and commercial environments without the need for additional shielding.
The cable length of 25 feet (7.62 meters) offers flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances, such as between network switches and workstations, or in server rack configurations. Both ends terminate with standard RJ-45 male connectors that are universally compatible with Ethernet ports on computers, routers, switches, and other networking equipment.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines practical design features with reliable performance for everyday networking needs. The 50-micron gold connectors maintain consistent electrical contact, minimizing signal loss and ensuring stable network connections over the cable's lifetime.
Snagless Design
The RJ-45 connectors include protective covers that prevent the clip from snagging on other cables or equipment during installation and maintenance.
- Easier cable routing
- Reduced risk of connector damage
- Simplified cable management
Environmental Compliance
Manufactured in compliance with EU RoHS, REACH, and WEEE directives, ensuring reduced hazardous substances and proper end-of-life handling.
- RoHS compliant
- REACH registered
- WEEE compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This 25-foot Cat5e patch cable is versatile enough for various networking scenarios where reliable Ethernet connectivity is required. Its medium length makes it suitable for connecting devices within the same room or across adjacent work areas without excessive cable slack.
Common applications include connecting computers to wall jacks or network switches, linking networking equipment in server racks, and establishing temporary network connections for events or testing. The blue color allows for easy visual identification in cable management systems, helping technicians quickly distinguish between different cable runs or network segments.
Office Networking
Connect workstations to network switches or patch panels in commercial office environments where reliable Gigabit Ethernet is required.
- Workstation connections
- Patch panel links
- Switch-to-device connectivity
Data Center Use
Ideal for server rack configurations where moderate-length connections between equipment are needed within the same rack or adjacent racks.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Category 5e patch cable supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) with data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps. It operates at a bandwidth of 100 MHz, which is standard for Cat5e cables, making it suitable for most office and home networking applications that require reliable high-speed connectivity.
Are both ends of the cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical RJ-45 male connectors. Each end terminates with a standard 8P8C RJ-45 plug that connects directly to Ethernet ports on computers, switches, routers, and other networking equipment without requiring adapters or special configuration.
What does 'snagless' mean for this patch cable?
Snagless refers to the protective covers on the RJ-45 connector clips that prevent them from catching on other cables, equipment, or rack components during installation and maintenance. This design makes cable routing easier and reduces the risk of damaging the connector clips when pulling cables through tight spaces or densely packed patch panels.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use or harsh environments?
No, this is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for indoor use in standard office, data center, and home networking environments. It does not have weatherproofing or additional shielding for outdoor applications or areas with significant electromagnetic interference.
