Ten-foot Cat5e patch cable

This ten-foot Cat5e patch cable delivers a reliable wired connection for Fast Ethernet networks. The blue jacket and snagless boot protect the locking clip during routing and removal. It supports Power-over-Ethernet for compatible devices such as VoIP phones or wireless access points. The cable is built to meet Category 5e performance requirements.

Replaces damaged or short patch leads

Use this cable to replace a worn, kinked or too-short patch cord that causes intermittent link drops. The jump is worth it when an existing lead fails certification testing or when a longer run is needed between a switch and a wall outlet. It is not for runs that exceed the Category 5e distance limit or for installations requiring Category 6 or higher bandwidth.

Simple RJ45 plug-in installation

Installation is a straight plug into any standard RJ45 port on a router, switch, patch panel or network card. The snagless boot prevents the clip from catching on adjacent cables, reducing the chance of a broken latch. The only common issue is forcing the connector into a port that is already occupied or misaligned, which can bend the pins inside the jack.

Questions about this item

What is the cable length and connector type for the RJ45PATCH10?

The cable measures 10 ft and uses RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet ports.

How do I avoid damaging the snagless clip protector when routing the cable through tight spaces?

The built-in boot shields the locking tab; push the connector straight in until it clicks rather than forcing it at an angle.

When should I replace this Cat5e patch cable to maintain reliable Fast Ethernet and PoE performance?

Replace it if the boot cracks, the clip breaks off, or you notice intermittent link lights after moving the cable.
