7 ft Cat5e patch cable for wired networking

This 7 ft Cat5e patch cable provides a wired Ethernet link for routers, switches, PCs and other RJ45 devices. It uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 µm gold plated contacts and unshielded twisted pairs rated to 350 MHz bandwidth. The grey jacket includes colour matched snagless strain relief boots.

Suits home and office runs needing a short Cat5e

The 7 ft length works well for desk to wall plate or patch panel connections where a compact cable reduces clutter. Builders who need longer runs, shielded construction or Cat6 and above performance should select a different cable.

Simple RJ45 plug in with snagless boots

Each end terminates in a standard RJ45 plug protected by a snagless boot that prevents the latch catching on adjacent cables during installation. The stranded conductor makes the cable flexible for tight bends behind furniture. No tools or configuration are required beyond seating the plugs fully into the ports.

Questions about this item

What devices need an RJ45 port to use this 7 ft Cat5e cable?

Any router, switch, modem, PC, NAS, printer or IP camera with a standard RJ45 jack will connect directly to the cable’s gold-plated plugs.

Will the 350 MHz bandwidth and 24 AWG pure copper conductors work with my older 10/100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the cable is fully backward compatible; it will negotiate the highest speed both ends support without any configuration.

How can I verify the link is running at the expected speed after plugging it in?

Check the port LEDs on the switch or router — solid or blinking green typically indicates a live 1 Gbps connection on Cat5e.
