3ft Cat5e Gigabit Patch Cable

This 3-foot Cat5e Ethernet cable provides a wired Gigabit 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 cable is tested to 350MHz, exceeding the Cat5e minimum, and features a snagless molded boot to protect the locking clip during installation.

Check Ports And Required Length

Verify that your devices have standard RJ45 ports for the 8P8C connectors on this cable. Measure the distance between your equipment to confirm that a three-foot run is sufficient for your layout. Ensure you need an unshielded UTP cable rather than a shielded variant for your environment.

Suits Simple Wired Links Not Long Runs

This cable suits home and office users who need a short, reliable Gigabit link for gaming, streaming or video calls where Wi-Fi is unstable. It is not for installers who need longer runs, higher bandwidth categories such as Cat6 or Cat6a, or shielded cable for electrically noisy environments.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft Cat5e cable come with any adapters or tools, or is it just the cable itself?

Only the patch cable is included — two 8P8C RJ45 plugs on 24 AWG bare copper twisted pairs with snagless boots and 50-micron gold-plated contacts.

Should I pick this 3 ft black 350 MHz Cat5e cable or a longer length from the same C5101 family?

Choose the length that reaches your device with a little slack; all lengths share the same 24 AWG bare copper, 350 MHz rating and Gigabit support.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean for my actual 1 Gbps connection?

It shows the cable was tested well above the 100 MHz Cat5e minimum, giving extra margin for a stable Gigabit link.
