Cat5e Patch Cable 1ft Blue

Monoprice 114263 is a Category 5e UTP Ethernet patch cable built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors. It targets IT professionals and data centre technicians who need reliable short-run connections without the delay of assembling custom cables. The one-foot length suits dense rack environments where excess slack complicates cable management.

350MHz bandwidth and stranded construction

Rated at 350MHz, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds with comfortable headroom for typical office and server links. The stranded conductors increase flexibility for frequent patching, while 50µm gold-plated contacts resist corrosion. It lacks shielding, so electromagnetic interference in noisy electrical rooms may limit practical throughput.

ZeroBoot RJ45 plugs for rapid patching

The ZeroBoot design omits protective clip covers, letting technicians seat and release connectors quickly in crowded patch panels. Pure bare copper meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C.2 fire-safety requirements, unlike copper-clad alternatives. Builders who require shielded cable or longer runs for backbone cabling will need a different product.

Questions about this item

Will this Cat5e 350MHz cable work reliably with my older 10/100 Mbps switch and NIC?

Yes, the Category 5e UTP design and 350MHz bandwidth are fully backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps equipment and will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.

How can I verify the 24AWG pure bare copper conductors and 50µm gold contacts are performing correctly after installation?

Run a cable certifier or the network adapter's link-speed indicator; a stable 1 Gbps link light and error-free throughput confirm the conductors and gold-plated contacts are seated properly.

Does the 1-foot Zeroboot cable come with any extra boots, clips or cable ties, or must I buy them separately?

The package contains only the single 1-foot blue UTP patch cable with uncovered RJ45 plugs; protective boots, clips or ties are not included and must be purchased separately if required.
