2 ft Cat 5 Blue Snagless Patch Cable

This two-foot Cat 5 UTP patch cable connects network devices over short distances. A clip protector stops the RJ45 tabs from catching while the cable is routed. Coloured blue hoods support departmental colour coding in office or rack environments. Strain relief at each end reduces stress on the plug termination.

Who this suits and who it does not

Suits installers needing a short, snag-free Cat 5 link for patch panels or desktop ports. Not for runs that require Cat 5e or Cat 6 certified performance, longer reach, or PoE budgets above the cable rating. Buyers needing shielded construction or outdoor-rated jackets should look elsewhere.

Category 5 rating

The cable is rated Cat 5, which determines the maximum bandwidth and crosstalk performance available. Near-end crosstalk is tested to stay within Cat 5 limits. This single specification decides whether the cable meets the installation requirements.

Questions about this item

How do I install the RJ45PATCH2 cable without damaging the connector clips?

Press the snagless clip protector down fully while inserting the plug until it clicks, then release; the strain-relief boot prevents sharp bends at the termination point.

What maintenance or replacement will the RJ45PATCH2 need over time?

Inspect the clip protector and strain-relief boot periodically; replace the cable if the clip cracks, the boot splits, or the conductors show wear from repeated flexing.

What limit appears first when the RJ45PATCH2 runs at full load for long periods?

The Cat 5 rating and Near End Crosstalk margins set the performance ceiling, so sustained throughput stays within the tested Category 5 limits.
