15.24 m Cat5e Ethernet patch cable

The Monoprice 102157 is a 15.24 metre grey Cat5e patch cable built with 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and uses unshielded twisted-pair construction. The cable meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. Snagless, colour-matched strain-relief boots protect the connectors during installation.

Fits standard RJ45 ports in home and office networks

The RJ45 plugs connect directly to routers, switches, patch panels and network interfaces without adapters. Stranded conductors make the cable flexible for routing around corners or through cable management channels. Pure bare copper cores avoid the signal loss associated with copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The 350 MHz rating supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds over the full 15.24 metre length.

Suits installers who need a verified pure-copper

Buyers who require shielded cable for high-interference environments should look elsewhere. The fixed 15.24 metre length cannot be shortened or extended without re-termination. Installers needing plenum-rated jackets or outdoor-rated sheathing will need a different product. The unshielded design is intended for typical indoor structured-cabling applications.

Questions about this item

How far can the 15.24 m Cat5e cable run before signal quality drops?

The cable is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth, supporting standard Cat5e distances up to 100 metres for 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps Ethernet.

Does the stranded 24 AWG construction make the cable run warmer or draw more power than solid-core alternatives?

No, the 24 AWG pure bare copper conductors carry only the low-voltage Ethernet signal; power draw and heat are negligible regardless of stranding.

Will the RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold contacts fit my existing keystone jacks and switch ports without adapters?

Yes, the standard RJ45 connectors are compatible with all Cat5e and Cat6 keystones, patch panels and switch ports.
