15 ft Cat5e patch cable

This 15 ft Cat5e patch cable provides a snagless RJ45 connection for Fast Ethernet networks. It uses 24 AWG copper conductors with 50-micron gold contacts and a CM fire rating. The 4-pair UTP construction supports up to 350 MHz bandwidth. It suits installers wiring hubs to panels or workstations to wall outlets.

Replaces damaged or shorter Cat5 links

Swapping a worn or too-short patch cord for this 15 ft cable restores a reliable 100 Mbps link without rewiring the permanent infrastructure. The snagless boots protect the latch during repeated moves in dense racks. The jump is worth it when the existing cord fails certification or limits rack layout flexibility.

Sustained throughput at 350 MHz rating

The 24 AWG copper pairs maintain signal integrity across the full 15 ft length under continuous Fast Ethernet traffic. CM-rated jacket resists flame spread in plenum-adjacent runs. Gold-plated contacts resist oxidation that degrades performance over time. Not for buyers who need Gigabit or 10 Gigabit certified cabling.

Questions about this item

What size RJ45 ports does the 15 ft cable plug into?

Both ends use standard RJ45 male connectors that fit any 8P8C port on switches, routers, patch panels or wall outlets.

How do I seat the snagless boots without damaging the latch?

Push the connector straight in until the latch clicks; the moulded boot protects the tab so it will not catch on adjacent cables when you pull it out.

When should I replace this Cat5e patch cord?

Replace it if the boot cracks, the latch breaks, conductors are kinked, or you upgrade to a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps link that requires Cat6 or higher.
