Product Features
Technical Overview
The 45PATCH25GR patch cable utilizes Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling, which supports data transfer rates up to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) and frequencies up to 100 MHz. This makes it suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications, including internet access, file sharing, and VoIP services. The cable length of 25 feet (7.62 meters) offers flexibility for medium-distance connections without signal degradation, adhering to the 100-meter maximum distance standard for Cat5e cables.
Connectors are RJ-45 male type with 50-micron gold plating on the contacts, which enhances conductivity and resists oxidation for consistent signal integrity over time. The snagless clip protectors on the RJ45 connectors prevent damage during cable routing, reducing installation time and minimizing wear. The UTP construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, ensuring reliable performance in typical office or home networking environments.
