Seven-foot Cat 5E patch cable

This Belkin A3L781-07-BLK cable provides a 7 ft Category 5E UTP link with RJ45 connectors on both ends. The black jacket aids colour-coded cable runs in home or office networks. Snagless moulded boots protect the plugs during installation and removal. Strain relief at each connector reduces bending stress at the termination point.

Sustained signal integrity

The cable meets or exceeds all Category 5E specifications for continuous data transfer across its full length. Unshielded twisted-pair construction delivers reliable Ethernet performance for typical LAN traffic. Strain relief prevents conductor fatigue where the cable enters the plug during long-term routing. Snagless design avoids latch damage that can degrade contact quality over time.

Replaces worn or shorter Cat 5E links

Use this cable when an existing patch lead is damaged, too short for a repositioned device, or lacks strain relief and snagless boots. The 7 ft length suits desk-to-wall or switch-to-patch-panel runs without excess slack. Builders who need shielded cable, longer reach, or a different colour should select an alternative specification.

Questions about this item

Does the 7 ft Cat 5E cable generate any heat or noise during continuous use?

No. It is a passive copper cable with no active electronics, so it produces no heat or noise regardless of how long it runs.

What equipment must I already have to use the RJ45 connectors on this patch lead?

You need two devices with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports such as a router, switch, PC or network-attached storage.

Will this Cat 5E cable work reliably alongside older Cat 5 wiring already in the wall?

Yes. Cat 5E is fully backward compatible with Cat 5, so the cable will operate at the highest speed both ends support.
