15 ft Cat5e patch cable

This 15 ft Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable wired link for Fast Ethernet networks. It uses four unshielded twisted pairs of 24 AWG copper rated to 350 MHz. The CM fire rating suits general indoor installations. It is built for standard RJ45 ports on routers, switches and PCs.

Snagless boot protects the latch

A moulded snagless boot covers the RJ45 clip on each end, preventing the latch from catching on adjacent cables during routing. This reduces the chance of accidental disconnection when moving equipment. The boot also eases insertion and removal in dense patch panels. No additional software or drivers are required.

CM rated jacket for in-wall runs

The grey CM rated jacket meets basic flame spread requirements for residential and commercial spaces. Unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible for tight bends behind desks or through conduit. RJ45 connectors on both ends are wired straight through for typical patch applications. It is not suited for outdoor or plenum environments.

Questions about this item

Will the snagless boots or RJ45 contacts need replacing after repeated plugging?

The snagless boots protect the locking tabs from breaking off during frequent inserts, and the gold-plated contacts resist corrosion so the cable itself rarely needs replacement.

Does the 24 AWG gauge limit the run length for Gigabit speeds?

At 15 ft the 24 AWG conductors stay well within the Cat5e channel limit for Gigabit Ethernet.

Will the CM-rated jacket get warm or add noticeable power draw on a 24/7 link?

Passive copper carries only signal current, so it generates no measurable heat and adds zero power draw regardless of how long it runs.
