15 ft Cat5e patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet

This 15 ft Cat5e patch cable delivers a wired Gigabit Ethernet link for home, office and gaming devices. It uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts for corrosion-resistant connections. A snagless molded boot protects the locking clip and resists tangling during installation. The black jacket supports easy color-coding across multiple ports.

Check your switch ports and device RJ45 sockets

Ensure the router, switch, modem, console, PC, NAS or smart TV you intend to connect has an available RJ45 port and negotiates Gigabit speeds. Verify the 15 ft length reaches between the two endpoints without strain. The cable is unshielded UTP, so avoid routing it parallel to high-voltage power lines or fluorescent ballasts. No driver or software setup is required; the link is plug-and-play.

Replaces slower or damaged Cat5 and older patch

Swapping a legacy Cat5 or worn Cat5e cable for this 350 MHz tested cable restores full 1000BASE-T throughput and reduces intermittent drops. The upgrade is worth it when Wi-Fi latency or instability affects streaming, video calls or online gaming and a wired run is practical. It does not serve 10 Gigabit or 250 MHz Cat6 and Cat6a environments that demand higher bandwidth.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the 15 ft Cat5e cable?

The box contains the 15 ft Cat5e patch cable with RJ45 plugs on both ends. No additional adapters or tools are included.

Should I choose the 15 ft length or a different one from the C5101 family?

Choose the 15 ft length when the run between your router, switch or device is roughly that distance; the C5101 family offers other lengths for shorter or longer runs.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean for my Gigabit connection?

The cable is tested to 350 MHz, well above the 100 MHz Cat5e minimum, so it reliably supports 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet with margin for signal integrity.
