STARTECH Cat5e Patch Cable 1 ft

This STARTECH 45PATCH1GR is a Category 5e patch cable built for short Fast Ethernet links. It measures one foot and terminates in gold-plated RJ-45 male connectors on each end. The gray jacket is molded and snagless to protect the latch during frequent moves. It suits installers who need a tidy, reliable jumper for patch panels or desktop ports.

Suits installers needing a short.

The one-foot length limits this cable to rack-adjacent patching or side-by-side device links. Builders who need longer runs, in-wall rated jackets, or Category 6 performance should look at other cable types. The fixed RJ-45 ends cannot be re-terminated in the field.

Category 5e rating defines the supported speed

The cable is specified to the Cat5e standard, which determines the maximum data rate it can carry. Gold-plated contacts and snagless boots protect the connection but do not change the category rating. Verify that your network equipment and required link speed match the Category 5e specification before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will the gold-plated RJ-45 contacts need cleaning or re-plating over time?

Gold plating resists oxidation so the contacts stay clean without maintenance.

What stops a 1 ft Cat5e patch cable from carrying gigabit speeds in a long run?

The 1 ft length is well within Cat5e distance limits so the cable itself does not limit speed.

Does the molded snagless boot trap heat when the link runs at full load all day?

The passive copper cable carries only signal current and generates no measurable heat.
