Ideal for 10/100 Base-T runs

This Belkin Cat 5e patch cable provides a reliable wired link for 10/100 Base-T networks. The three-foot length suits short runs between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point. Black jacketing helps colour-code the installation. It is a straightforward choice for basic Ethernet connectivity.

Verify port type and required reach

Confirm both endpoints use RJ45 sockets before ordering. Measure the exact path the cable will follow; three feet covers only very short distances, so longer runs need a different length. The cable is unshielded, so avoid routing it alongside power cables or fluorescent ballasts. Ensure the connectors can physically clear any tight bends or bulkhead openings.

Replaces damaged or missing Cat 5e jumpers

Use this cable to swap out a faulty patch lead or to complete a new drop where only a short link is required. The jump is worthwhile when the existing cable fails certification or when a tidy, colour-coded run simplifies troubleshooting. It does not serve installations that demand shielded cabling, Gigabit speeds or longer distances.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft Cat 5E cable come with both RJ45 connectors already attached or do I need to crimp them myself?

Both ends are factory-terminated with RJ-45 male plugs so the cable is ready to use straight from the pack.

Should I choose the 3 ft length or a longer run for a desktop-to-switch link?

The 3 ft patch cable suits short rack or desk connections; pick a longer cable only if the devices sit farther apart.

What does the 10/100 Base-T rating mean for actual throughput on this cable?

It supports Fast Ethernet up to 100 Mbps, which is the maximum speed the Cat 5E specification guarantees on a 3 ft run.
