Monoprice Cat5e Patch Cable 1.5 m

This Monoprice Inc. Cat5e Ethernet patch cable measures 1.524 metres and uses a red jacket for easy identification. It is built for home or office networks that need a short, reliable copper link between a router, switch or wall outlet and a desktop, laptop or network appliance. The stranded 24 AWG conductors keep the cord flexible for desktop routing.

350 MHz bandwidth rating

The cable is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth, which is the single specification that determines whether it will support the desired network speed over this length. It uses unshielded twisted pairs (UTP) made from pure bare copper wire rather than copper-clad aluminium, meeting the material requirements of UL 444 and TIA-568-C. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 plugs resist corrosion for stable connectivity.

Low heat and silent operation

As a passive copper cable it draws no power and produces no heat or audible noise during normal use. The colour-matched, snagless strain-relief boots protect the connector latch and reduce cable stress without adding bulk. No external power supply or active cooling is required for operation.

Questions about this item

What does the 350 MHz bandwidth actually deliver in a real network?

The 350 MHz rating means the cable can carry Cat5e signals with headroom for Gigabit Ethernet up to the full 100 m channel length without becoming the bottleneck.

What does the RJ45 interface with 50 µm gold contacts cap in practice?

The RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold plating support the full Cat5e 1 Gbps link speed and resist oxidation better than thinner 10 µm coatings.

What does the 1.524 m length and snagless boot need to fit or mount?

At 1.524 m the red UTP patch cord reaches from a wall jack to a desktop switch or router, and its snagless strain-relief boots slide through cable managers without catching.
