Short black Cat5e Ethernet patch cable with gold RJ45 connectors

CMPLE

CMPLE Cat5e Network Ethernet Cable 1.5 Feet Black

SKU CH-RP9K-YVK3Z

A 1.5 ft Cat5e patch cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors rated for 350 MHz and 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet

  • Overall length1.5 ft (0.46 m)
  • Product colorBlack

Color Black

Length 1.5 ft.

  • Supports Gigabit speeds up to 1000 Mbps
  • 350 MHz bandwidth handles demanding data transfers
  • Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist corrosion for reliable contact
  • 5 ft length suits tight patch-panel runs
  • Flexible PVC jacket protects unshielded twisted-pair conductors

Ideal for short patch links

This 1.5 ft Cat5e patch cable links computers, routers, consoles or PoE devices situated next to each other. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable contact. The stranded CCA conductors support up to 1000 Mbps data rates. It suits tight rack spaces or desk-side connections.

Thermals noise and power

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and produces no heat or noise. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating supports Gigabit Ethernet without signal degradation. The unshielded twisted-pair design keeps the cable lightweight. Normal operation stays within standard temperature limits.

Build quality and daily use

A flexible PVC jacket protects the internal pairs during repeated routing. The short 1.5 ft length reduces clutter in patch panels or behind equipment. Connectors fit standard 8C8P ports on switches, modems and printers. Not suited for runs longer than 100 m or outdoor installations.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RJ45 connectors on this 1.5 ft Cat5e cable without damaging the gold-plated pins?

Align the connector tab facing down, push firmly until you hear a click, and avoid twisting the cable near the plug to protect the 50 µm gold contacts.

Will the CCA conductors in this cable degrade over time and need replacement?

Copper-clad aluminium conductors can become brittle with repeated bending, so replace the cable if you notice intermittent 1000 Mbps link drops or physical kinks in the 1.5 ft run.

At what point does the 350 MHz rating limit sustained throughput on a 1 Gbps link?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports the full 1000 Mbps rate, but alien crosstalk in dense bundles becomes the first bottleneck before the cable’s own frequency limit is reached.
