10 ft Cat5e patch cable for wired networking

This 10 ft Cat5e Ethernet patch cable connects computers, routers, switches and other RJ45 devices in a home or office network. It uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 µm gold-plated contacts and colour-matched snagless boots. The cable is supplied new and carries UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C compliance.

350 MHz bandwidth limits speed and distance

The Cat5e UTP construction is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 metres. Unshielded twisted pairs leave the link more vulnerable to electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments. The 10 ft length suits short runs between a desk and a wall outlet or patch panel; longer distances would require a different cable.

Snagless boots simplify routing and termination

Flexible stranded conductors and snagless strain-relief boots make the cable easy to pull through trunking and to plug into tight ports without the latch catching. Pure bare copper meets fire and safety codes that reject copper-clad aluminium alternatives. The only common issue is exceeding the 100 metre channel limit when this patch cord is combined with long horizontal runs.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 10-foot length for a desk-to-router run?

The 10-foot (3.048 m) length suits typical desk-to-router or patch-panel connections; longer runs are available in the same series if you need more reach.

What does the 350 MHz bandwidth mean for my Gigabit network?

The 350 MHz rating exceeds the 100 MHz required for 1 Gbps Ethernet, so the cable will not bottleneck standard Gigabit speeds.

Does the RJ45 interface with 50 µm gold contacts limit PoE power?

The RJ45 plugs use 50 µm gold-plated contacts and 24 AWG pure copper conductors, supporting standard PoE and PoE+ power levels without added resistance.
