Ready-to-use Cat 5e patch cable

This Belkin A3L781-01-BLU is a one-foot Category 5e patch cord with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or behind a desk. It arrives new and meets the Category 5e performance specification for standard Ethernet links. No shield is fitted, so it is intended for typical indoor environments.

Suits short indoor links.

The cable works well for connecting a computer, switch or router across a desk or inside a single rack unit. Installers who need shielded cable, outdoor-rated jackets, or lengths that reach between rooms should choose a different product. The unshielded construction also means it is not designed for electrically noisy industrial settings.

One-foot length decides the use case

At exactly one foot the cord only spans very short distances such as patch-panel to switch or device to wall port. If the connection point is farther away this length will not reach and a longer cable is required.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 connectors on this 1 ft cable need re-crimping after repeated unplugging?

The moulded RJ-45 male plugs are factory terminated and not designed for field re-crimping; if a latch breaks or a pin bends, the usual remedy is to replace the entire patch lead.

What throughput ceiling will I hit first on a continuous 1 Gbps link over this Cat 5E patch cord?

The cable is rated to the Category 5E specification, so sustained gigabit Ethernet at 1 Gbps is the maximum throughput the link will negotiate.

Does the unshielded 1 ft blue jacket add noticeable heat or power draw when the link runs all day?

Passive copper patch cords draw no power and generate no measurable heat; the unshielded PVC jacket simply carries the signal without active components.
