7 ft Cat5e Patch Cable

This seven-foot Cat5e patch cable carries 1 Gbps Ethernet and Power over Ethernet through 24 AWG solid copper conductors. Molded RJ-45 plugs with 50-micron gold contacts resist strain and corrosion. The blue UTP jacket suits home offices, small-business networks and temporary test-bench links.

Upgrade from older Cat5 runs

Replacing legacy Category 5 cords with this 350 MHz rated cable removes a common bottleneck on gigabit switches and PoE devices. The jump is worth it when existing cables show cracked boots, intermittent link lights or fail certification tests at 1 Gbps.

Suits gigabit copper links

Installers needing a short, factory-terminated drop for routers, access points or IP cameras will find the length and connector quality appropriate. Buyers who require shielded cable, longer reaches or higher category ratings should look at other products.

Questions about this item

What connector type does the 7 ft Cat5e cable use for mounting?

The cable uses standard RJ45 connectors with 50-micron gold contacts that snap into any RJ45 jack on a switch, router or wall plate.

How is the cable installed and which step is often missed?

Push each RJ45 plug firmly until the latch clicks; the step people miss is verifying the click on both ends before routing the cable.

What maintenance or replacement will the cable need over time?

The solid copper conductors and gold contacts require no periodic maintenance; replace the cable only if the latch breaks or the jacket shows physical damage.
