2 ft Cat5e patch cable for gigabit networks

The STARTECH M45PATCH2BK is a two‑foot Category 5e UTP patch cord with moulded RJ45 connectors, finished in black. It is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and supports 1 Gbps Ethernet with Power over Ethernet. The short length keeps cable runs tidy inside racks, wall plates or desktop setups.

Installers who need a short, certified Cat5e link

This cable suits technicians patching a switch to a panel, connecting a wall outlet to a PC or linking PoE devices such as access points and cameras over a brief distance. Builders who require longer runs, outdoor‑rated jackets or Category 6 and above performance should select a different product.

350 MHz bandwidth rating

The 350 MHz specification confirms the cord meets Cat5e electrical requirements for gigabit signalling and PoE delivery. If the installation demands higher frequency margins or alien‑crosstalk guarantees, a higher category cable is necessary.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2 ft length or a longer version for my desk setup?

The 2 ft length keeps a tidy run between a switch and a nearby device; select a longer cable only if the endpoints are farther apart.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed?

It guarantees headroom for 1 Gbps Ethernet and Power over Ethernet on runs up to the rated distance.

Which connector standard does the RJ45 plug follow and what speed does it cap?

Molded Cat6‑style RJ45 plugs terminate the Cat5e conductors, limiting the link to 1 Gbps despite the higher‑grade connector.
