STARTECH M45PATCH7GR Cat5e network ethernet cable 7 ft gray

Cat5e cable for Fast Ethernet links

This seven-foot Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable wired connection for Fast Ethernet networks. The grey jacket and coloured hoods simplify cable identification in patch panels or departmental runs. It is built and tested to keep near-end crosstalk within Cat5e limits. Suitable for home, office or lab environments where a short, certified link is required.

Installers needing a short, colour-coded patch lead

Technicians who want a pre-terminated, seven-foot Cat5e cable with coloured hoods for quick visual sorting will find this a good fit. Buyers who need longer runs, higher category ratings such as Cat6 or Cat6a, or different jacket colours should look at other options. The fixed length makes it unsuitable for installations requiring custom cable lengths.

7 ft length for short patch-panel runs

The seven-foot length is the critical specification that determines whether this cable reaches between adjacent rack devices or a wall jack and a desktop switch. Verify the exact distance in your installation before purchasing, as the cable cannot be extended or shortened without re-termination.
