What this cable is

The C2G 00401 is a two-foot Cat5e patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for voice, data and video distribution in home or small-office networks.

Who should buy it

This length suits tight runs between a wall jack and a desktop, laptop or patch panel where slack would be a nuisance. Installers needing longer spans or shielded cable for noisy environments should choose a different product.

Installation notes

Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during routing, so the connectors click in cleanly. The only common issue is ordering a cable that is too short for the actual path once furniture is in place.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this 00401 cable?

Any network equipment with standard RJ45 jacks — routers, switches, PCs, NAS units, IP cameras or VoIP phones — will accept the male connectors on both ends.

Will this Cat5e 350 MHz patch lead slow down a Gigabit switch I already own?

No. The cable meets Cat5e TIA/EIA specifications and supports up to 350 MHz bandwidth, which is sufficient for 1 GbE links on your existing switch.

How can I confirm the 2 ft link is performing correctly after plugging it in?

Check the switch or NIC link LEDs for a solid Gigabit connection indicator and run a simple throughput test to verify near-line-rate transfer speeds.
