STARTECH 3 ft Cat5e Red Patch Cable

This 3 ft Cat5e patch cable delivers reliable 350 MHz bandwidth for 1 Gbps Ethernet connections with Power over Ethernet support. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from damage during installation or removal. Its red jacket aids quick cable identification in busy racks or desk runs. It suits home offices, small business networks and temporary patching tasks.

Check your port type and required run length

Verify that your switch, router or device uses standard RJ45 ports before ordering. Confirm that a 3 ft length reaches between your equipment without tension or excess slack. Ensure the existing cabling infrastructure is rated for at least Category 5e performance. The cable is not suited for outdoor, plenum or direct burial installations.

Fits standard RJ45 ports and frees longer runs

The cable plugs directly into any standard RJ45 jack on switches, patch panels, PCs or IP cameras. Its short length reduces clutter and leaves longer backbone cables for permanent infrastructure. Snagless boots prevent accidental unplugs when routing through tight cable managers. Use it to complete the last metre of a channel without wasting a full patch cord.

Questions about this item

Does the 3 ft red Cat5e patch cord come with any extra hardware or do I need to buy RJ45 couplers separately?

The cable is a complete patch cord with snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends so no additional couplers or hardware are required for a standard connection.

Should I choose this 3 ft red version or a different length or colour for a gigabit PoE run?

This 3 ft red Cat5e cable is rated for 350 MHz and 1 Gbps with PoE support; select a longer or shorter length only if the physical route demands it, and pick another colour only for cable-management preference.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean when the cable is plugged into a real switch and PC?

It guarantees the cable can carry a full 1 Gbps Ethernet signal with Power over Ethernet up to its 3 ft length without signal degradation.
