STARTECH 15 ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable

This 15 ft Category 5e patch cable provides reliable wired network connections for home and office equipment. It uses 24 AWG conductors in a 4-pair unshielded twisted-pair construction with a grey CMG-rated jacket. The assembly meets TIA/EIA 568B industry standards and carries FT4 fire rating plus UL type CM certification.

Suits desks, patch panels and short rack runs

Builders needing longer backbone links or outdoor-rated jacket should choose a different cable type. Installers requiring shielded pairs for high-EMI environments will not find that feature here. The fixed 15 ft length also limits use where custom-cut bulk cable is preferred.

Category 5e rating determines supported speeds

The Cat 5e classification defines the bandwidth ceiling for this patch cord. Verify that your switch ports and NICs operate within the same category to avoid mismatched performance expectations. The FT4 and CM markings confirm suitability for general in-wall and riser routing.

Questions about this item

Will this 15 ft Cat5e cable support gigabit speeds on my existing older switch and router ports?

The cable meets Category 5e specifications and TIA/EIA 568B standards, so it is rated for gigabit ethernet and will negotiate the highest speed both connected ports support.

How can I verify the cable is functioning correctly after I plug it in?

Check that the link lights on both ports illuminate and run a speed test or file transfer to confirm the connection operates at the expected rate without errors.

Does the package include only the 15 ft gray patch cable or are any couplers or tools supplied?

The box contains the single 15 ft Cat5e patch cable with RJ45 connectors; no couplers, wall plates or installation tools are included.
