25 ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable

This 25 ft Cat5e patch cable is built for reliable Fast Ethernet links in home offices, small-business networks and rack installations. It uses 100 % copper conductors rather than copper-clad aluminium, so signal integrity holds up over the full run. The blue PVC jacket and coloured hoods let installers colour-code drops by department or function.

24 AWG conductors and PoE headroom

The 24 AWG copper wire carries both data and Power over Ethernet without excessive voltage drop, supporting VoIP phones, wireless access points and IP cameras on a single cable. At 25 ft the run stays well within the 100 m channel limit, but longer segments would need a repeater or switch to maintain spec-compliant performance.

Moulded strain relief for dense patching

Moulded PVC boots stop the RJ45 terminations from bending sharply at the connector, reducing fatigue when cables are routed through tight cable managers or patch panels. The snagless design eases insertion and removal in crowded racks, while the flexible jacket simplifies dressing alongside other Category 5e or Category 6 runs.

Questions about this item

Will this 25 ft Cat5e cable work with my older 10/100 Mbps switch and router?

Yes, the Cat5e specification supports Fast Ethernet speeds and is fully backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps network equipment.

How can I verify the cable is performing correctly after I connect it?

Check that the link lights on both ports illuminate and run a network speed test to confirm expected throughput for your connection.

Does the box include the cable only, or are RJ45 connectors and a cable tester also supplied?

The package contains the 25 ft blue Cat5e patch cable with molded RJ45 connectors on both ends; no separate connectors or tester are included.
