2 ft Cat5e patch cable

This two‑foot Cat5e patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 µm gold‑plated contacts. It is built for short‑run connections between a computer, router, switch or patch panel. The snagless strain‑relief boots protect the RJ45 clips during frequent plugging and unplugging.

UTP construction with snagless boots

The unshielded twisted‑pair design keeps the cable lightweight and flexible for tight desk or rack spaces. Color‑matched flex boots prevent the latch from catching on adjacent cables, reducing wear on the connector tabs. Pure bare copper meets UL 444 and TIA‑568‑C requirements for permanent installations.

350 MHz bandwidth rating

Rated to 350 MHz, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet and other applications within the Cat5e class. It is not suited for runs that require Cat6 or higher performance specifications. Buyers needing longer reach or higher category ratings should select a different length or cable type.

Questions about this item

What does the 350 MHz bandwidth of this Cat5e cable cap in practice?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 1 Gbps over the full 2 ft length.

What physical space does the 2 ft cable with snagless boots need to fit?

The cable measures 0.6096 m end-to-end; the snagless boots add minimal bulk so it fits tight switch ports and patch panels.

How do I install the RJ45 plugs without damaging the 50 µm gold contacts?

Align the tab down, push straight in until the boot clicks — never force at an angle or the contact pins can bend.
