STARTECH 45PATCH3OR Cat5e network ethernet cable 3 ft orange snagless

StarTech Cat5e 3 ft orange cable

This StarTech Cat5e patch cable measures three feet and uses an orange PVC jacket for easy colour coding. It is built with 100 % copper conductors and snagless RJ45 connectors that protect the locking tabs during installation. The cable supports 350 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps Ethernet with Power over Ethernet capability. Molded strain relief reduces stress at the termination points.

Compatibility and installation checks

Verify that your network equipment uses standard RJ45 ports and operates at Cat5e or Cat5 performance levels. Ensure the three-foot length is sufficient for the distance between your devices without excess slack. Confirm that the orange colour matches your existing cable-management scheme if colour coding is in use. The snagless boots add a small amount of bulk, so check port density on crowded panels.

Ideal for short PoE runs, not for longer links

This cable suits installers who need a short, pre-made Cat5e link for VoIP phones, wireless access points or cameras powered over Ethernet. It also fits home users adding a single wired connection near a router or switch. Buyers who need runs longer than three feet, higher category ratings such as Cat6 or Cat6a, or bulk cable for custom terminations should look at other options.
