STARTECH Cat5e 15 ft patch cable

This yellow Category 5e patch cable provides a 15 ft link for Fast Ethernet networks. It is suited to home offices, small-business workstations or temporary test-bench setups that need a reliable copper connection.

Check RJ-45 ports and required reach

Verify that both devices have standard RJ-45 sockets and that a 15 ft run covers the distance without tension. The moulded connectors add strain relief but cannot be field-terminated, so the length must fit the installation as supplied.

Drops into any Cat5e-or-better channel

The cable terminates in male RJ-45 plugs on each end and requires no power, drivers or configuration. It frees up longer runs for backbone links while keeping patch-panel or switch-to-device jumps neat and colour-coded.

Questions about this item

Does the package include the cable only or are any additional connectors supplied?

The box contains the 15 ft Cat5e patch cable with an RJ-45 male plug on each end; no extra connectors or tools are included.

This model is listed as 15 ft — is there a different length I should choose instead?

The M45PATCH15YL is the 15 ft version; other lengths exist under different part numbers, so select the length that matches the distance between your devices.

What does the Cat5e rating mean for the speed I will actually get?

The Cat5e rating certifies the cable for Gigabit Ethernet performance over the full 15 ft run, so your connection will operate at the speed your router and network card negotiate.
