Questions about this item

Should I pick the 50 ft length or a different size for my run?

Choose the 50 ft length when your cable path between devices measures close to that distance; a shorter run reduces slack while a longer one adds unnecessary coil.

What real-world speed will I see from the Cat 5E rating on this 50 ft cable?

The Cat 5E rating means the cable meets the electrical performance required for Gigabit Ethernet across the full 50 ft, so your link will negotiate at the highest speed both ports support.

How does the RJ-45 connector standard limit what I can plug this cable into?

The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends fit any standard Ethernet port on routers, switches, PCs or patch panels, and the Cat 5E construction ensures the link performs to Gigabit specification.
