StarTech 100 ft Cat 5e patch cable

This 100 ft Category 5e patch cable provides a black UTP connection rated at 350 MHz. It is suited for home or office networks that need a long, reliable Ethernet link between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point.

Sustained load behaviour

The cable maintains its 350 MHz bandwidth over the full 100 ft length, so throughput stays consistent during large file transfers, video streaming or backups that keep the link busy for extended periods. Snagless boots protect the RJ45 tabs from catching when the cable is routed through tight spaces.

Pre-order checklist

Verify that the 100 ft reach matches the distance between your network endpoints without excess slack. Confirm that both devices use standard RJ45 ports and that your installation can accommodate a black UTP cable of this length.

Questions about this item

Does the 100 ft Cat 5e cable generate any heat or noise during continuous use?

No, the passive copper cable carries data without active components, so it produces no heat or audible noise even when running all day.

What connectors must my router and PC already have for this cable to work?

Both devices need standard RJ45 Ethernet ports; the cable terminates in RJ45 plugs on each end.

Will this Cat 5e patch cable work with my older Cat 5 wall jacks and 100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the Cat 5e cable is fully backward compatible with Cat 5 infrastructure and 100 Mbps equipment.
