Purpose and audience

This 2 ft Cat5e patch cable provides a short, snagless link for Gigabit Ethernet connections with Power over Ethernet support. Home-office users and small-business installers can run it between a switch, router or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point. The moulded boots and 50-micron gold contacts resist wear during frequent reconnection.

Who should choose it and who should not

Builders needing a tidy, blue UTP lead for 1 Gbps PoE drops will find the 24 AWG copper construction and snagless RJ45 plugs a good fit. Installations that require longer runs, outdoor rating, shielded cable or speeds above 1 Gbps should look at other cable types. The fixed 2 ft length also limits use to adjacent equipment.

Decisive specification

The cable is rated to 350 MHz and tested for 1 Gbps Ethernet with PoE, which determines whether it matches the target network speed. This frequency rating is the single figure that confirms suitability for standard Gigabit links.
