High-Density Patch Cable

This 1 ft Cat5e Ethernet cable is built for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and offices. The non-booted RJ45 plugs seat cleanly in tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) over bare copper conductors. Installers who need a booted strain-relief design should choose a different cable.

Signal Integrity

Four twisted pairs of 24 AWG bare copper carry data tested to 350 MHz, well above the 100 MHz category baseline. Fifty-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low resistance. The unshielded UTP construction keeps the cable lightweight and flexible for dense bundles. No active cooling or power draw is involved.

Compliance and Compatibility

The cable is RoHS compliant and carries UL and ETL verification for safety standards. It connects routers, switches, patch panels, PCs and PoE devices without additional drivers or software. Available in the C5102 family in multiple lengths and colors. Buyers requiring shielded cable for noisy environments should select a shielded alternative.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the non-booted RJ45 plugs into a high-density patch panel without damaging the latch?

Align the 8P8C plug with the keystone jack and press straight in until the latch clicks; the non-booted design removes the molded boot so the plug seats fully in tight rows without catching on adjacent cables.

Will the 50-micron gold-plated contacts need cleaning or re-termination over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists oxidation; under normal indoor use the contacts do not require cleaning or re-termination for the life of the cable.

At what bandwidth does the 350MHz tested limit restrict sustained Gigabit traffic?

The cable is tested to 350MHz, well above the 100MHz Cat5e requirement, so the bandwidth limit does not restrict 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet under sustained use.
