15 ft Cat 5e patch cable for wired networks

This 15 ft Cat 5e patch cable provides a reliable wired connection for home and office networks. It supports Fast Ethernet speeds up to 350 MHz. The red PVC jacket makes the cable easy to identify in crowded racks or behind desks. It is built with stranded copper conductors for flexible routing.

Snagless boots and CM-rated jacket

Snagless boots protect the RJ45 locking tabs from breaking during insertion or removal. The CM fire rating means the cable meets standard safety requirements for in-wall or general indoor installation. A PVC jacket adds durability against everyday handling. These features reduce downtime caused by damaged connectors.

24 AWG stranded copper conductors

The cable uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors arranged in four unshielded twisted pairs. Stranded wire handles repeated bending better than solid core, making it suitable for patch panels and desktop connections. This gauge balances signal integrity with the flexibility needed for tight bends. Buyers needing solid-core cable for permanent horizontal runs should choose a different construction.

Questions about this item

Will the stranded 24 AWG copper conductors fatigue if the cable is moved frequently?

Stranded 24 AWG copper is designed for flexibility, making it suitable for patching and occasional repositioning without conductor fatigue.

Does the 350 MHz Cat 5e rating limit throughput on a sustained 1 Gbps link?

The Cat 5e 350 MHz specification supports full 1 Gbps Ethernet speeds continuously over the 15 ft length.

Does the CM-rated PVC jacket add noticeable heat or power loss during all-day use?

The CM-rated PVC jacket is passive; it adds no heat or power draw, and the cable runs cool during continuous operation.
