Direct connection cable

The StarTech.com 45PATCH6RD is a Category 5e patch cable built for Fast Ethernet links. It carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and spans six feet, making it suited for short runs between a switch, router or wall jack and a desktop, laptop or networked device. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in dense cable bundles.

Snagless design for tight routing

The moulded boot protects the connector clip from catching on adjacent cables or cabinet edges, which helps installers pull the cable through cable trays or under raised floors without damaging the latch. Buyers who need longer reach, in-wall rated jackets or shielded construction for high-interference environments should select a different cable type.

50-micron gold contacts

The connectors use 50-micron gold plating to maintain low-contact resistance and resist oxidation over repeated mating cycles. This specification directly determines long-term signal integrity on the copper conductors.

Questions about this item

Will the 50-micron gold connectors need re-termination over time?

The 50-micron gold plating resists oxidation and corrosion, so the connectors maintain conductivity without requiring re-termination under normal use.

What performance limit appears first on a 6 ft Cat5e run at full throughput?

The Cat5e rating caps the link at 1 Gbps, so bandwidth is the first ceiling you hit before distance or signal loss becomes an issue.

Does the snagless boot design affect heat buildup when the cable runs all day?

The snagless boot protects the clip during routing and does not trap heat; the passive copper cable generates no measurable warmth during continuous operation.
