Belkin Cat 5e Patch Cable 4 ft

This Belkin A3L791-04-BLK-S is a Category 5e patch cable measuring four feet in length. It is intended for connecting network devices such as computers, routers and switches within a Local Area Network. The black cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with gold-plated RJ45 contacts on both ends. It suits home and office users who need a short, reliable wired link.

10/100 Base-T Network Limit

The cable is rated for use with 10/100 Base-T networks, supporting data rates up to 100 Mbps. It will not deliver Gigabit or higher speeds that Cat 6 or newer categories provide. Offset twisted pairs inside the jacket reduce cross talk and attenuation within this bandwidth ceiling. Buyers who want more bandwidth for modern multi-gigabit infrastructure should choose a higher-category cable instead.

Snag-less RJ45 Connectors

Gold-plated contacts provide maximum conductivity and resist corrosion over repeated insertions. A snag-less boot protects the RJ45 insertion tab from breaking when the cable is routed through tight spaces or cable management channels. The unshielded design keeps the cable flexible for easy bending around desks or patch panels. Builders who need shielded protection against electromagnetic interference in industrial environments should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Is the 4 ft length right for a desk-to-router run?

At 4 ft this Cat 5e patch cable suits short links such as a PC to a nearby switch or wall jack; measure your path before ordering.

What does the 10/100 Base-T rating mean for my connection?

The cable supports Fast Ethernet up to 100 Mbps, so a 10/100 NIC or switch port will run at its full negotiated speed.

Does the unshielded Cat 5e design limit the usable bandwidth?

Unshielded Cat 5e is specified for 100 MHz bandwidth, which caps practical throughput at 100 Mbps on 10/100 Base-T networks.
