6 ft Cat5e Snagless Patch Cable

This six-foot Category 5e patch cable uses 24 AWG conductors and RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and carries a CM fire rating for in-wall use. The yellow jacket aids quick identification in dense cable runs. It suits home offices, small-business networks and temporary test setups.

Snagless Boot and UTP Construction

Moulded snagless boots protect the locking tabs from catching during routing or removal. Four-pair unshielded twisted-pair wiring reduces crosstalk without the stiffness of shielded cable. The combination keeps insertion force low while maintaining reliable contact. No additional software, drivers or accessories are included in the package.

Straightforward RJ45 Installation

Standard RJ45 plugs fit any Gigabit Ethernet port without tools or configuration. The snagless design prevents tab breakage, the most common failure point on standard cables. Ensure the boot fully clears the port latch before pulling to avoid damage. Not suited for runs requiring shielded cable, outdoor burial or lengths beyond the supplied six feet.

Questions about this item

How often should I replace the RJ45 connectors if the snagless tabs break off?

The snagless RJ45 plugs protect the locking tabs during insertion and removal; replace the cable only if a tab snaps and the connector no longer latches securely.

Will the 24 AWG conductors overheat if I run PoE devices continuously through this cable?

At 24 AWG the conductors are rated for standard PoE currents; the CM fire rating covers normal operating temperatures, so sustained PoE loads will not cause overheating.

Does the CM fire rating mean the jacket gets hot during all-day data transfer at 350 MHz?

The CM rating certifies the jacket for in-wall flame spread resistance, not heat from signal frequencies; the cable runs cool during continuous 350 MHz operation.
