Network cable for local area networks

This Belkin Category 5e patch cable links computers, switches and routers on a wired LAN. The 250 ft length suits runs between rooms or through ceiling spaces. It is tested to PowerSUM requirements and works with 10Base-T, 100Base-T and gigabit Ethernet networks. Both PC and Mac systems are supported.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and generates no heat or noise during operation. Signal integrity is maintained through the specified Category 5e performance ratings. No active cooling or external supply is required at any point.

Build quality and daily use

Eight stranded 24 AWG conductors are housed in a grey jacket and supplied in a reelex box for easy pulling. The bulk format lets installers cut exact lengths and terminate connectors on site. Lifetime limited warranty covers the cable against manufacturing defects.

Questions about this item

How do I pull the 250 ft cable from the reelex box without kinking the 24 AWG wires?

Feed the cable straight from the centre of the reel, keeping the jacket slack and avoiding sharp bends that can crush the stranded conductors.

When should I replace this Cat 5E cable?

Replace it if the jacket cracks, connectors loosen, or certification tests show insertion-loss failures beyond the Cat 5E limit.

What speed ceiling will I hit first on a long gigabit run?

The 100 MHz bandwidth of Cat 5E caps sustained gigabit throughput, especially near the full 250 ft length.
