15 ft Cat 5e patch cable

This 15 ft Cat 5e patch cable provides a wired Ethernet link for desktops, routers and switches. It uses unshielded twisted-pair construction with RJ45 plugs on both ends. The blue jacket allows quick visual identification in a crowded rack or under a desk. It is not intended for outdoor burial or Power over Ethernet applications that require shielded or higher-category cable.

Sustained 100 Mbps throughput

The cable meets Category 5e performance requirements and is rated for 10 and 100 Base-T networks. Gold-plated contacts maintain low resistance over long runs, reducing packet loss during continuous file transfers or streaming. The PVC jacket resists kinking when routed through cable trays, keeping signal quality stable over time. It does not support Gigabit Ethernet speeds that demand Cat 6 or higher specifications.

Category 5e rating

The single specification that determines suitability is the Cat 5e classification, which guarantees performance up to 100 MHz bandwidth. Buyers needing 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps links, shielded pairs for noisy environments, or plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces must select a different cable category.

Questions about this item

Does the 15 ft Cat 5e cable generate any heat or noise when running continuously?

No, this passive copper cable has no active components, so it produces no heat or noise during all-day operation.

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

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

Will this Cat 5e patch cable work reliably with my older 10 Base-T hub?

Yes, the cable meets Category 5e specifications and is designed for 10 and 100 Base-T networks, so it is fully compatible with legacy 10 Base-T hardware.
