Black 50ft Cat5e Ethernet cable with non-booted RJ45 plugs on both ends

Cable Leader

Cable Leader 50ft Cat5e Non-Booted Ethernet Cable Black 24AWG 350MHz

SKU CH-EMPF-QBM7S

A 50-foot Cat5e patch cable tested to 350 MHz with non-booted RJ45 plugs for high-density installs

  • Cable category5E
  • First connectorRJ45
  • Second connectorRJ45
  • Conductor gauge24 AWG
  • Product typeNetwork Ethernet Cables
  • Overall length50 ft (15.2 m)
  • Supports 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet tested to 350MHz
  • Non-booted plug fits dense 5102 patch panels and keystones
  • 24AWG bare copper with 50-micron gold contacts for signal integrity
  • 50ft black UTP cable for structured cabling and PoE devices
  • RoHS compliant with UL and ETL verification for safety

Designed for dense patch-panel installs

This non-booted Cat5e cable targets installers and network managers who need a reliable Gigabit link in tightly packed racks, data-centre rows or office patch fields. The slim plug profile seats cleanly in high-density keystone jacks and patch panels where a molded boot would block adjacent ports or restrict airflow.

350 MHz headroom on a 50 ft run

Built with 24 AWG bare copper in four twisted pairs and tested to 350 MHz, the cable comfortably carries 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet across its full 50 ft length. Performance tapers beyond the Cat5e 100 MHz specification, so 10 Gbps or longer 1 Gbps runs over 100 m are outside its design envelope.

Fits structured cabling without extra bulk

The 8P8C RJ45 plugs with 50-micron gold-plated contacts terminate directly to routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs and PoE devices. No shielding means the cable stays flexible for tidy trunking, while the non-booted ends free up space in crowded cabinets and simplify re-termination if a connector is damaged.

Questions about this item

Will the 24AWG bare copper conductors and RJ45 plugs work reliably with my older 10/100 Mbps switch ports?

Yes, the Cat5e cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both devices support, so it works with 10/100 Mbps ports as well as Gigabit Ethernet.

How can I verify the cable is performing to the tested 350MHz specification after installation?

Use a cable certifier or network tester that measures frequency response up to 350MHz; a passing result confirms the link meets the Cat5e performance claims.

Does the 50ft black cable include any boots, clips or mounting hardware, or must I buy those separately?

The cable is non-booted by design and ships with only the two RJ45 plugs attached; no boots, clips or mounting hardware are included.
