Product Identity

This is a 2 ft Cat5e patch cable built to the 350 MHz test limit, using 24 AWG bare copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 plugs. It provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet link for routers, switches, consoles, PCs and smart TVs. The snagless molded boot protects the locking clip during repeated connections.

Who It Suits

Home and office users who need a short, reliable Gigabit drop between a wall port and a desktop, console or streaming box. Installers who prefer color-coded cables for quick port identification. It will not support multi-gigabit standards that require Cat6 or higher categories. Buyers needing longer runs or shielded construction should look at other cable types.

Deciding Specification

The cable is rated to 350 MHz, well above the 100 MHz Cat5e baseline, and uses 24 AWG bare copper with 50-micron gold contacts. This combination delivers stable 1000BASE-T performance for everyday networking. If your infrastructure demands 10 Gbps or higher bandwidth, a different category cable is required.

Questions about this item

What devices do I already need to have for this 2ft Cat5e patch cord to connect them?

You need two devices with RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, modem, PC, console, NAS or smart TV — to plug each end of the cable into.

Can I use this 350MHz Cat5e cable alongside my existing Cat5 or Cat6 cables without issues?

Yes; the cable is backward compatible with Cat5 and works alongside Cat6 runs, operating at up to 1 Gbps on its 2ft segment.

How can I verify the cable is delivering a full Gigabit link after I plug it in?

Check the link LEDs on both ports — they should show a 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps connection — and run a speed test to confirm near-wire throughput.
