Compact patch cable for dense installs

The Cable Leader Cat5e non-booted patch cable is a 3 ft black UTP cord built for gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and tested to 350MHz. It uses 24AWG bare copper conductors in four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated 8P8C contacts. The cable suits data centres, server rooms, offices and structured cabling where space is tight.

Non-booted plugs free panel space

Without a molded boot the RJ45 plugs seat cleanly in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks, leaving room for adjacent cables and improving airflow. The cord connects routers, switches, PCs and PoE devices directly. RoHS compliant with UL and ETL verification, it is part of the C5102 family offered in multiple lengths and colours.

Passive copper draws no power

As an unshielded copper patch cord it adds no active heat or noise to the rack; thermal load comes only from the connected equipment. The 24AWG conductors carry gigabit traffic within the Cat5e 100MHz channel specification while the 350MHz test margin provides headroom. Buyers needing shielded runs or 10GBASE-T over 100 m should select a higher category cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 350 MHz tested bandwidth limit sustained throughput on a 1 Gbps link?

No. The cable is tested to 350 MHz but the Cat5e standard and 1000BASE-T operate at 100 MHz, so the extra margin does not cap gigabit speed.

Does the non-booted design change heat dissipation or power draw when the cable runs all day?

The unshielded 24 AWG bare copper conductors carry standard PoE current without added resistance, and the missing boot only improves airflow in dense panels.

What RJ45 port spacing must the switch or patch panel already have for these plugs to seat side by side?

Standard 8P8C RJ45 jack spacing; the non-booted plug removes the molded boot so adjacent ports stay accessible in high-density panels.
