14-foot Cat5e patch cable for wired networking

This Monoprice 100138 cable provides a 14 ft gray connection for routers, switches and networked devices. It uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with unshielded twisted pairs rated to 350 MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated contacts carry a 50-micron thickness and snagless strain relief boots protect the RJ45 plugs.

Check your jack type and required run length

Verify that the equipment you are connecting uses standard RJ45 ports and that a 14 ft run reaches between the two points without tension. The cable is unshielded UTP, so it suits typical indoor environments but not installations that demand shielded or outdoor-rated constructions. Confirm the 24 AWG stranded design fits the patch panels or wall plates you plan to use.

Suits home and office patching.

Buyers who need a reliable pure copper patch lead for Gigabit Ethernet within a single room will find this cable fits. Builders who require shielded twisted pairs, plenum-rated jackets or runs longer than 14 ft should look at something else. The fixed length also means it cannot be shortened or extended without replacing the cable.

Questions about this item

Does the 14 ft Cat5e cable include everything needed to connect two devices or are extra connectors required?

The cable ships with RJ45 plugs on both ends so it is ready to plug straight into a router, switch or PC without buying separate connectors.

Should I choose this 14 ft length or a different one for a typical desk-to-router run?

At 14 ft the gray Cat5e patch cord covers most desk-to-router distances while leaving a little slack for tidy routing.

What does the 350 MHz bandwidth rating mean when the cable is installed in a home network?

The 350 MHz rating supports full Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the 14 ft run with headroom for noise margin.
