25-foot Cat5e patch cable

This 25-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts. It is built to 350MHz bandwidth and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. The yellow jacket and snagless strain-relief boots make it easy to identify and route in home or office networks.

Upgrade from CCA or lower-spec cables

Many budget cables use copper-clad aluminium conductors and only 10-micron contact plating, which can limit reliability and code compliance. This cable replaces those with 100 percent pure bare copper and 50-micron gold contacts, so the jump is worth it when building permanent runs that must pass inspection or support gigabit speeds over the full 25-foot length.

Suited for fixed gigabit links

Installers and home users who need a compliant, pre-terminated 25-foot run for routers, switches or wall plates will find this cable fits the task. Buyers who need longer distances, shielded construction, or higher-category performance such as Cat6 or Cat6a should look at other options.

Questions about this item

What connector type and cable diameter does this 25-foot yellow Cat5e patch cable use for a standard RJ45 port?

The cable uses RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold plated contacts and a 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductor, which fits any standard RJ45 jack on routers, switches or network cards.

How do I seat the snagless boot correctly so the latch clicks without catching on adjacent cables?

Push the connector straight into the port until the latch clicks; the color-matched snagless strain relief boot prevents the latch from hooking on nearby cables during removal.

Will the 24AWG pure bare copper conductors degrade over time, and what does the lifetime warranty cover?

The 100-percent pure bare copper wire resists oxidation better than copper-clad aluminum, and Monoprice's limited lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the cable.
