Three-foot Cat5e patch cable for short runs

This Belkin Cat5e patch cable measures three feet and carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The red jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or desk bundle. It is built for basic Ethernet links between a computer, router, switch or wall jack.

Suits tight connections where a short lead is

The 3 ft length works well for patch-panel-to-switch jumps or a laptop docked beside a wall outlet. It will not reach across a room or between distant cabinets, so installers needing longer runs should choose a different cable.

Unshielded Cat5e construction

The cable uses unshielded twisted-pair wiring rated to the Cat5e standard and weighs approximately 2.24 oz. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertions and removals.

Questions about this item

What clearance does the 3 ft red Cat5e cable need behind a patch panel?

The cable is 3 ft long and weighs 2.24 oz, so allow enough depth for the snagless boots to seat without bending the RJ45 plugs sharply.

Which way round do the RJ45 male plugs go when linking a PC to a hub?

Both ends are wired identically as RJ45 male, so either plug can go into the PC or the hub; just push until the tab clicks.

When should the red Cat5e patch lead be replaced?

Replace it if the snagless boot cracks, the latch stops clicking, or the conductors show kinks that cause intermittent link lights.
