Purpose & Audience

This StarTech.com 45PATCH6OR is a six-foot orange Cat5e patch cable built for wired network links. It suits installers and home users who need a short, colour-coded run between a switch, router or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point.

Who It Suits & Who It Doesn't

The snagless boots protect the RJ45 clips during routing, so it works well for frequent moves or tight cable trays. Buyers who need longer runs, shielded construction or higher-category bandwidth should look at other cable types.

Deciding Specification

The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist oxidation and maintain reliable conductivity over the cable's service life. This connector finish is the key factor when choosing a patch cord for dependable Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connections.

Questions about this item

What network ports must my devices have to use the RJ-45 connectors on this Cat5e cable?

Both devices need standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports, such as those on routers, switches, PCs or network printers, to accept the male plugs on each end.

Will this Cat5e patch cable work with older Cat5 wall jacks and switches I already have installed?

Yes, the Cat5e specification is backward compatible, so the cable will connect to Cat5 infrastructure at Fast Ethernet speeds.

How can I verify the 50-micron gold contacts are making a proper link after I plug the cable in?

Check for a solid link light on both connected ports and run a speed test to confirm the expected Fast Ethernet throughput.
