Cat5e patch cable for short runs

This 0.9144 m Cat5e patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50µm gold-plated contacts. Unshielded twisted pairs and 350MHz bandwidth support Gigabit Ethernet in home or office networks. Color-matched snagless boots protect the RJ45 latch during repeated connects and disconnects.

Sustained signal integrity over 350 MHz

Pure bare copper construction meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications cabling. The 100 percent copper conductors maintain consistent attenuation and crosstalk performance under continuous data loads without the degradation seen in copper-clad aluminum alternatives. Gold plating resists oxidation that would otherwise increase contact resistance over time.

Replaces CCA or lower-spec Cat5e cords

Upgrade from cables that use copper-clad aluminum wire or only 10µm gold contacts when reliability matters for PoE devices, long-term installations or frequent patching. The lifetime warranty reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the materials. Not for buyers who need shielded cable, Cat6 or higher bandwidth, or lengths beyond three feet.

Questions about this item

Does the Monoprice 100132 cable generate any heat or noise during continuous network use?

No. As a passive Cat5e patch cable with 24AWG pure bare copper conductors, it draws no power and has no moving parts, so it runs silently and without measurable heat.

What devices must I already own to use this 0.9144 m Gray cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 Ethernet ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS, or game console — to connect with this 350 MHz UTP patch cord.

Will this Cat5e cable work reliably alongside my older 10/100 Mbps switches and NICs?

Yes. The 350 MHz bandwidth and 100 % pure bare copper construction meet TIA-568-C, so it interoperates with legacy 10/100 gear while also supporting Gigabit speeds.
