length patch cable

This half-metre Cat5e patch cable is built for tight rack-to-rack or switch-to-panel runs where excess slack is unwanted. It uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and meets 350MHz bandwidth specifications. The blue jacket provides quick visual identification in dense cable bundles. It is aimed at installers who need reliable short links without coiled leftovers.

Zeroboot clip-free design

The Zeroboot series omits the protective retaining-clip cover found on standard patch cords, letting technicians seat and release RJ45 connectors faster in crowded patch panels. This speeds up moves, adds and changes in data-centre rows where every second counts. The trade-off is that the exposed clip can snag on adjacent cables if routing is not managed. Buyers who prefer clip protection for frequent re-patching should choose a booted alternative.

Pure copper compliance check

Verify that your project specification calls for Cat5e UTP with 350MHz rated bandwidth and TIA-568-C.2 compliance, because this cable is manufactured to those exact parameters. Confirm that 0.5 foot (approximately 15 centimetres) is sufficient for the intended port-to-port distance; longer runs will require a different length. Ensure the environment does not demand shielded or outdoor-rated construction, as this is an unshielded indoor patch cord.

Questions about this item

Will the .5 ft length and 24AWG stranded conductors fit inside a high-density patch panel?

The cable is .5 ft long with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors, making it suitable for tight patch-panel spacing.

How do I connect the RJ45 plugs without the protective clip covers on this Zeroboot cable?

Align the exposed retaining clip with the port latch, push straight in until it clicks, and verify the link lights — no boot to remove.

When should I replace this Cat5e cable if the bare copper conductors remain intact?

Replace it if the RJ45 clip breaks, the jacket shows cuts, or certification testing fails — Monoprice provides a lifetime warranty on the cable.
