Gigabit Cat5e Patch Cable

This 5-foot Cat5e cable delivers a reliable Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) link using 24AWG bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. Tested to 350MHz, it meets the Cat5e standard for structured cabling in data centers, server rooms and offices. The non-booted plug design fits tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks while improving airflow.

Upgrade From Older Cat5 Runs

The jump is worth it when existing cables only support 100MHz bandwidth or use thinner gauge wire that limits signal integrity at gigabit speeds. Builders who need 10Gbps over longer distances or 500MHz certified performance should look at higher-category options instead.

Simple Press-Fit Installation

The non-booted RJ45 plugs seat with a straight push into any 8P8C port on routers, switches, patch panels, keystone jacks, PCs and PoE devices. The only common snag is accidental unplugging in high-vibration racks because there is no locking boot to secure the latch.

Questions about this item

Will the non-booted RJ45 plugs fit in a high-density patch panel with tightly spaced ports?

Yes, the non-booted design seats easily in tightly packed patch panels and keystone jacks, improving airflow and easing cable management in dense installations.

How do I terminate or install this cable without damaging the 24AWG bare copper conductors?

The cable comes pre-terminated with 8P8C RJ45 plugs featuring 50-micron gold-plated contacts; simply insert each plug until it clicks — avoid forcing the latch tab, which can snap off on non-booted connectors.

Will the 50-micron gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs degrade over time in a PoE environment?

The 50-micron gold plating on the 8P8C contacts resists corrosion and maintains reliable signal integrity for PoE devices and Gigabit Ethernet over the cable's lifetime.
