Belkin A3L791BT05MBLKS CAT5e UTP Snagless Patch Cable 16.40 ft Black

SKU CH-S3B4-G9GYJ MPN A3L791BT05MBLKS

A 16.40 ft Cat5e UTP patch cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and snagless boots for network devices

  • Snagless boot protects the latch from damage during repeated use
  • Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal transfer
  • 40 ft length suits typical desk-to-switch runs
  • Category 5e UTP construction supports gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • Molded strain relief reinforces the cable ends for durability

Ready-to-run Cat5e patch cable

This Belkin A3L791BT05MBLKS cable is a Category 5e UTP patch lead with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The 16.40 ft length suits typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel runs. Gold-plated contacts and a snagless boot protect the latch during repeated insertion. It is built for network devices that use standard twisted-pair Ethernet.

Replaces damaged or shorter Cat5e leads

Swap this in when an existing patch cable has a broken latch, corroded pins or insufficient reach. The jump is worth it if the current cable fails continuity tests or forces a device too far from the switch. It does not raise the link speed beyond the 5e rating, so it will not help users who need Category 6 or 6a performance.

Fits any RJ-45 port without extra hardware

The moulded plugs seat directly into routers, switches, NICs or wall plates — no tooling or keystone modules required. The unshielded design keeps the cable flexible for tight routing behind desks or through cable-management trays. The snagless boot frees up clearance around dense port blocks by preventing latch lock-on with neighbouring cables.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the snagless boot need to fit into a patch panel?

The snagless boot adds a small over-mould beyond the RJ-45 body; allow a few millimetres extra depth in the panel port.

How do I seat the gold-plated RJ-45 plugs without damaging the latch?

Push each plug straight in until the latch clicks; do not rock the connector sideways or the snagless hood can bind.

When should I replace this 16.40 ft CAT5e patch cable?

Replace it if the boot tears, the latch stops clicking, or a cable tester shows failed pairs after a pull or crush.
