10 ft Cat 5e Patch Cable

This Belkin A3L791-10-BLU is a ten-foot Category 5e patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It uses bare stranded copper conductors sized at 24AWG across four pairs and features 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy rack or desk setup.

Unshielded Cat 5e Rating

The cable is rated Cat 5e with a characteristic impedance of 100±15 ohms at 1 to 100 MHz and a maximum conductor resistance of 89.2 ohms per kilometre at 20°C. It is not shielded, so it suits typical home or office runs where electromagnetic interference is low. Gigabit Ethernet over this distance is well within the specification.

For Basic Wired Links

It suits anyone connecting a PC, router, switch or printer with a straight-through patch lead up to ten feet long. Builders who need shielded cable for noisy environments, longer runs beyond the Cat 5e channel limit, or higher bandwidth categories such as Cat 6 or Cat 6a should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 5e rating mean for my actual connection speed?

The Cat 5e rating supports gigabit ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over the full 10 ft length, which covers most home and office internet plans and local network traffic.

How does the RJ45 connector limit what I can plug this into?

The RJ45 male connectors on both ends fit standard ethernet ports on routers, switches, PCs, game consoles and smart TVs, so any device with an RJ45 jack will accept the cable directly.

Will the 24 AWG stranded conductors and 10 ft length let me route it around a door frame?

Yes, the 24 AWG stranded copper construction makes the cable flexible enough to bend around door frames and corners, and the 10 ft length gives enough slack for typical desktop or wall-plate runs.
