6 ft Category 5e patch cable

This six-foot Category 5e patch cable connects two RJ-45 network ports in a home or small-office LAN. The gray jacket and slimline moulded boots make routing tidy in cable trays or behind desks. It is built for everyday Ethernet links up to 100 MHz bandwidth. Buyers needing longer runs or higher-category performance should choose a different length or specification.

Shielded stranded construction

Stranded conductors and F/UTP shielding protect signal integrity in typical indoor environments while keeping the cable flexible for tight bends. The CM-rated jacket meets flame-retardant requirements for in-wall or plenum-adjacent routing where local code permits. RoHS and WEEE compliance confirm restricted-substance controls. Installations that require solid-core cable for permanent horizontal wiring are not served by this patch lead.

Low heat and silent operation

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and generates no audible noise during normal data transfer. The shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference without active cooling. Temperature rise is negligible under standard Ethernet loads. Environments with extreme heat, moisture or mechanical stress may require specialised industrial-grade cabling instead.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth limit appears first when the 100 MHz Cat5e cable runs at full load?

The 100 MHz rating caps sustained throughput before any connector or jacket limit is reached.

How much heat or noise does the F/UTP shielded patch cable generate during all-day operation?

Passive copper with foil shielding produces no heat and no audible noise under continuous use.

Which network ports must the installer already have for the dual RJ-45 male ends to connect?

Two standard RJ-45 female ports — one on each device — are required for the 6 ft link.
