Wired Gigabit link for everyday networks

This five-foot Cat5e patch cable delivers a stable 1000BASE-T connection for routers, switches, consoles and PCs. It uses 24AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The snagless molded boot protects the locking clip during installation. Gray coloring helps identify ports in home or office setups.

Tested to 350MHz for sustained throughput

The cable exceeds the Cat5e minimum of 100MHz with a verified 350MHz rating, supporting consistent Gigabit speeds under continuous load. Bare copper construction maintains signal integrity better than copper-clad alternatives during long transfers or gaming sessions. UL and ETL verification confirms the build quality meets safety standards. RoHS compliance ensures restricted substances are absent.

Replaces worn or wireless links when stability

Upgrade from damaged cables or unreliable Wi-Fi to cut latency and dropouts for streaming, video calls and online play. It is not suited for runs requiring 10Gbps bandwidth or shielded environments with heavy EMI. Builders needing longer reach or higher category ratings should select a different specification.

Questions about this item

Does the 24AWG bare copper cable generate noticeable heat when running a full Gigabit link all day?

No, the 24AWG bare copper conductors carry 1000BASE-T traffic without measurable heat buildup during continuous use.

What ports must my router or switch already have for this RJ45 cable to work?

Standard 8P8C RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet ports on the router, switch, modem, console, PC, NAS or smart TV.

Will the 350MHz tested cable work reliably with older 100MHz Cat5e jacks and 100Mbps network cards I still use?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support, down to 100Mbps on legacy hardware.
