14ft Cat5e patch cable for wired networking

This 14-foot Cat5e cable connects computers, routers, switches or other RJ45 devices in home and office networks. The yellow jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy patch panel or behind a desk. Stranded 24AWG pure bare copper conductors provide flexibility for routing around corners and through cable management.

350MHz bandwidth with gold-plated contacts

The cable is rated for 350MHz bandwidth, supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds over its full length. Fifty-micron gold plating on the RJ45 contacts resists corrosion and maintains low-resistance connections over repeated insertions. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable lightweight and easy to bend without excessive stiffness.

Snagless boots and lifetime warranty

Colour-matched snagless strain-relief boots protect the latch tab from catching on adjacent cables during installation or removal. The pure bare copper conductors meet UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring. Monoprice backs the cable with a limited lifetime warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the RJ45 connectors on this 14ft Cat5e cable without damaging the snagless boots?

Align the tab with the port notch, push straight in until you feel a click, then pull gently to confirm the latch holds; the color-matched snagless boots on this 102148 cable prevent the tab from catching on adjacent cables during removal.

Will the 50-micron gold-plated contacts on this 24AWG stranded cable need cleaning or re-termination over time?

The 50-micron gold plating on the RJ45 contacts resists oxidation far better than thinner 10-micron coatings, so under normal indoor use no cleaning or re-crimping is required for the life of the cable.

At what point does the 350MHz bandwidth limit become the bottleneck during sustained gigabit transfers?

The 350MHz rating exceeds the 100MHz required for 1Gbps Ethernet, so the bandwidth ceiling will not appear first; cable length (14ft) and connector quality are well within Cat5e specs for sustained throughput.
