20 ft Cat 5e Snagless Ethernet Cable

This 20 ft Cat 5e patch cable provides a wired network link using RJ45 connectors on each end. The snagless boot design protects the locking tab during routing and removal. Blue jacket colour aids cable identification in dense patch panels or rack installations. It is built for standard twisted-pair Ethernet deployments.

Home office and small business installs

The cable suits users who need a reliable 20 ft copper run for routers, switches or wall plates in typical indoor environments. Installers requiring plenum-rated jackets, shielded construction or lengths beyond 20 ft should select a different specification. Outdoor or direct-burial applications are not supported by this cable type.

Category 5e rating

The Cat 5e designation defines the transmission performance class of this cable. It determines the maximum bandwidth and crosstalk limits the link can support. Matching the category to the network equipment ensures the connection meets the intended speed grade.

Questions about this item

Does the snagless RJ45 connector on this 20 ft Cat 5e cable reduce heat buildup during continuous use?

The cable is passive copper wiring with no active electronics, so it generates no measurable heat and requires no cooling during all-day operation.

What devices must I already have to use this blue RJ45 patch cable?

You need two network ports with standard RJ45 sockets, such as those on a router, switch, PC or network-attached storage device.

Will the strain-relief boots on this Cat 5e cable interfere with adjacent ports on an older switch?

The snagless moulded boots are sized to fit standard RJ45 spacing, so they sit flush alongside existing cables on legacy equipment.
