Belkin Cat 5e 18-inch patch cable

This Belkin Cat 5e patch cable measures 18 inches and comes in gray. It uses RJ45 connectors and is built for 10/100 Base-T networks. The short length suits tight runs between a switch and a nearby device. Condition is new.

Best for short desktop or rack links

The cable works well when connecting a computer, router or switch across a very short distance. It is not suited for runs that need more length, for gigabit speeds or for installations requiring in-wall rated jacket. Buyers needing longer reach or higher bandwidth should choose a different cable.

Cat 5e rating limits speed to 100 Mbps

The Category 5e specification supports up to 100 Mbps on 10/100 Base-T networks. This single rating determines whether the cable matches the network speed required. If the link must run at gigabit rates, this cable will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch length reach between my switch and wall port?

The cable measures 18 inch end to end so it suits short runs between a patch panel and a switch or a desktop and a wall jack.

Do I need a tool to connect the RJ45 plugs?

The RJ45 connectors are factory crimped; just align the tab, push until it clicks and the link lights should appear.

How often should I replace a Cat 5e patch cable?

Replace it if the jacket is kinked, the clip snaps off or you see intermittent drops on a 10/100 Base-T link.
