20-foot Cat5e patch cable

This 20-foot blue Cat5e patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. It delivers 350 MHz bandwidth and meets UL 444 and TIA-568-C fire and safety standards. Snagless strain-relief boots protect the connectors during repeated insertion and removal.

Home and office network runs

The cable suits standard Gigabit Ethernet connections between routers, switches, PCs, printers and NAS devices where a 20-foot reach is convenient. Installers who need shielded cable for high-EMI environments or plenum-rated jacket for in-wall runs should look elsewhere. Buyers requiring longer or shorter fixed lengths will need a different cable.

350 MHz bandwidth rating

The 350 MHz bandwidth rating is the specification that confirms the cable can carry Gigabit Ethernet signals over the full 20-foot length without degradation. This figure directly determines whether the link will operate at the rated speed for your network equipment.

Questions about this item

Does the Monoprice 11197 cable generate any heat or noise when running continuously?

No, the Monoprice 11197 is a passive Cat5e cable with 24AWG pure bare copper conductors and 350MHz bandwidth. It draws no power, produces no heat and makes no noise during continuous operation.

What devices must I already own to use this 20-foot blue Ethernet cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a router, switch, PC, NAS or game console — to connect with the Monoprice 11197 cable.

Will this Cat5e cable work reliably with my older 10/100 Mbps switch and newer gigabit router?

Yes, the Monoprice 11197 meets Cat5e 350MHz specifications and uses 24AWG pure bare copper with 50µm gold-plated contacts, so it supports both legacy 10/100 gear and modern gigabit links without bottlenecks.
