  • CMG fire rating allows safe general-purpose in-wall installation

Purpose-built cable

This six-foot Cat5e patch cord is made for anyone who needs a reliable wired link between a computer, router, switch or wall jack. The purple jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or behind a desk.

Moulded ends and wiring standard

Factory-moulded RJ45 plugs on both ends remove the failure point of hand-crimped connectors and lock securely into standard ports. The cable follows the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B pinout so it works with existing infrastructure without re-punching panels.

Straightforward installation

Snap each end into an RJ45 port until the tab clicks; no tools or configuration are required. The 24 AWG unshielded construction is flexible but not rated for plenum spaces, so avoid running it inside air-handling ceilings or walls where fire codes demand a higher rating.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ45 connectors or the 24 AWG conductors need replacement after repeated plugging?

The molded boot protects the RJ45 latch from snapping, and the 24 AWG solid copper conductors are rated for the cable's service life without scheduled replacement.

What throughput ceiling appears first when the cable runs at its 350 MHz Cat 5e rating all day?

The 350 MHz bandwidth limit of the Cat 5e specification caps sustained throughput before any length-related attenuation on a 6 ft run.

Does the unshielded 24 AWG cable run warm or draw extra power during continuous 24/7 operation?

Passive copper cable draws no power and generates no measurable heat; the CMG jacket simply stays at ambient temperature during constant use.
