What this cable is and who it suits

Monoprice model 111268 is a one foot Cat5e patch cord built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 micron gold plated contacts. The purple jacket and snagless boots make it easy to identify in a busy rack or desk setup. It is intended for installers and home users who need a short, standards compliant link for 100 MHz class networks.

Build quality and daily handling

The cable meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements because every pair uses 100 percent bare copper rather than copper clad aluminium. Unshielded twisted pair construction and 350 MHz tested bandwidth support reliable data transmission. Colour matched flexboots protect the RJ45 latch from catching on adjacent cables during moves or maintenance.

What the bundled warranty changes

Monoprice backs the cord with a limited lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support, so a single purchase covers the cable for as long as you own it. The supplier also offers a 30 day return window with no restocking fee, giving buyers a risk free period to verify length and colour fit before committing to a permanent installation.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the 350 MHz Cat5e cable support in practice?

The cable is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth, which meets the Cat5e standard for Gigabit Ethernet transmission over its 1 ft length.

What physical space and connector clearance does the 1 ft purple cable need?

The cable is 0.3048 m long with snagless RJ45 boots; allow room for the boot depth and the short-body connector behind the port.

How is this Cat5e patch cable installed, and what step is often missed?

Press each RJ45 plug firmly until the tab clicks; the snagless boot can mask a partial seat, so verify the link lights on both devices.
