14 ft Cat5e patch cable

This 14 foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable uses 24AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 micron gold plated contacts. The unshielded twisted pair construction delivers 350MHz bandwidth for reliable network connections. Snagless strain relief boots protect the RJ45 connectors during installation and removal. The cable meets UL Code 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for communications wiring.

350MHz bandwidth rating

The 350MHz bandwidth specification determines whether this cable supports the network speeds required for a given installation. Cat5e cables rated at this frequency handle Gigabit Ethernet and standard 100Mbps Fast Ethernet links. Buyers should verify that their networking equipment and required link speeds are compatible with Cat5e performance limits before purchasing.

Home and office networks needing standard runs

This cable suits home and office networks where a 14 foot black patch lead connects routers, switches, computers or wall plates. The pure copper construction avoids copper clad aluminum alternatives that fail fire code compliance. Buyers needing longer runs, shielded cable for high interference areas, or higher category ratings for 10 Gigabit Ethernet should consider other options.

Questions about this item

What does the 350 MHz bandwidth mean for my home network?

The 350 MHz rating supports Cat5e performance up to 1 Gbps speeds across the full 14 ft length, suitable for standard internet and LAN traffic.

How does the RJ45 connector's 50µm gold plating affect the connection?

The 50µm gold plating on the contacts resists corrosion and maintains low resistance compared to thinner 10µm coatings found on budget cables.

Will the snagless boots fit tightly spaced ports on my switch?

Yes, the color-matched snagless strain relief boots are designed to protect the tab while fitting standard RJ45 ports on routers, switches and patch panels.
