STARTECH M45PATCH25BK 25 ft Cat5e UTP network ethernet cable

25 ft Cat5e UTP patch cable

This 25 ft Cat5e UTP patch cable provides a wired Ethernet link between two RJ45 ports. It uses 24 AWG conductors arranged in four twisted pairs and is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth. The black jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose indoor runs. Molded strain relief protects each connector during repeated insertion.

Replaces shorter or lower-category links

Swapping a shorter cable for this 25 ft length lets you bridge greater distances without adding couplers that can degrade signal integrity. Moving up from Cat5 to Cat5e raises the rated bandwidth to 350 MHz and reduces crosstalk, which is worthwhile when Gigabit Ethernet is required. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring ensures compatibility with standard patch panels and switches.

Sustained throughput on long runs

At the full 25 ft length the cable maintains its 350 MHz rating, so Gigabit traffic stays stable during extended transfers. The CMG fire rating means the jacket resists flame spread in typical building pathways, supporting continuous operation in walls or ceilings. Molded boots prevent connector fatigue when cables remain plugged in for months.
