Ideal for basic home networking

This Cat5e patch cable provides a standard network connection with a 100 MHz rating. It supports 100 Mbps applications and is suited for 10 and 100 Base-T networks. The 100 ft length accommodates longer runs between devices in a home or small office setup.

Limited to 100 Mbps bandwidth

The Category 5e standard restricts practical throughput to 100 Mbps, making it unsuitable for Gigabit or faster network segments. It handles streaming video and memory-intensive applications within that ceiling but will bottleneck higher-speed infrastructure.

Snagless moldings protect the tabs

Premium snagless-type moldings on both RJ-45 male connectors shield the locking tabs from breakage during frequent moves or tight routing. The unshielded round black jacket offers flexibility for cable management while the PowerSum tested build ensures consistent performance.

Questions about this item

Should I pick this 100 ft Cat5e cable or a shorter length for my setup?

Choose the 100 ft length when the run between devices exceeds shorter cables; Cat5e supports 100 MHz bandwidth up to 100 metres, so this 100 ft patch cable stays within spec for 10/100 Base-T networks.

What does the 100 MHz rating mean for actual network speed?

The 100 MHz rating allows the cable to carry 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet reliably; it is designed for 10 and 100 Base-T networks, not Gigabit speeds.

Will the RJ45 connectors work with my router and PC ports?

Yes, both ends use standard RJ45 male plugs that fit any 8P8C Ethernet jack on routers, switches, PCs or patch panels.
