SatelliteSale Cat5e 6 ft patch cable

This 6 ft grey Cat5e UTP cable carries data at up to 1000 Mbps with a 100 MHz bandwidth. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors resist oxidation and the PVC jacket protects the round cord from bending damage. It is ROHS compliant and shielded for stable signal transmission. The cable suits home or office networks needing a short, reliable link.

Upgrading from older Cat5 runs

Replacing a legacy Cat5 cord with this Cat5e cable raises the supported bandwidth to 100 MHz and enables gigabit speeds of 1000 Mbps. The improvement is worth it when the network hardware already supports 1 Gbps and the existing cable is the bottleneck. Backward compatibility means it plugs into any Ethernet port without reconfiguration. Shielded construction further reduces interference in busy environments.

Deskside connections and short runs

The 6 ft length fits tidy connections between a router and a desktop, console, smart TV or VoIP phone on the same desk. Buyers needing longer reaches across rooms or through walls should choose a longer cable from the 1.5 ft to 25 ft range. Installers requiring plenum-rated or outdoor-rated jackets will need a different cable type not described here.

Questions about this item

What clearance do the gold-plated RJ45 connectors need to seat fully?

The RJ45 plugs are standard width; allow about 25 mm behind the port so the boot clears the latch without bending the 6 ft cable sharply.

Which orientation of the connector latch avoids the common snag when pulling the cable through a 45 mm conduit?

Insert the plug with the latch tab facing the wider side of the conduit; pushing straight in until the click seats the gold-plated pins without twisting the UTP pairs.

How often should the PVC jacket be inspected for cracks if the 6 ft cord runs across a floor?

Check the grey PVC sheath every 100 days for abrasion; replace the cable if the jacket splits, because the shielded 4-pair construction cannot be repaired.
