StarTech 100 ft Cat5e patch cable

This StarTech 45PATCH100GR is a 100 ft grey Category 5e UTP patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The snagless boot design protects the locking tabs during installation and removal. It is built for standard structured cabling runs in home or office networks.

Suited for fixed Cat5e runs.

The 100 ft length fits typical room-to-room or patch-panel-to-wall-plate distances where Cat5e performance is specified. Installers who need Cat6, Cat6a or shielded cable for tighter crosstalk margins should select a different cable type.

350 MHz bandwidth defines the Cat5e limit

The cable is rated to 350 MHz, which is the frequency basis for Category 5e transmission performance. This single figure determines whether the link meets the required standard for the intended application.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 100 ft length or a shorter cable for my run?

Choose the 100 ft length when the distance between devices is close to that figure; a shorter cable reduces slack and potential signal loss on shorter runs.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean for actual network speed?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports Gigabit Ethernet throughput on this Cat5e cable, provided the connected hardware also operates at that speed.

How does the RJ-45 connector and Cat5e rating limit real-world performance?

The RJ-45 plugs and Cat5e specification cap the link at 1 Gbps over the full 100 ft distance when paired with Gigabit-capable ports.
