4 ft Cat 5e patch cable

This 4 ft Cat 5e patch cable provides a short, reliable link for Fast Ethernet networks. It is suited to home offices, small-business desks or patch-panel runs where a compact blue cable keeps the installation tidy. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated connects and disconnects. Green compliance confirms the cable meets RoHS material restrictions.

Snagless boots and colour coding

The snagless moulded boots stop the RJ-45 tabs from catching on adjacent cables, reducing the chance of a broken connector when routing through tight trunking. The blue jacket gives an instant visual cue for network segregation or department coding without the need for extra labels. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 male plugs ready for immediate use.

Check port spacing and run length

Verify that the 4 ft length reaches between your two devices without tension; a cable pulled tight can degrade signal quality over time. Confirm that the RJ-45 ports on your switch, router or wall plate have enough clearance for the snagless boot profile, especially in high-density patch panels. This cable is rated for Cat 5e performance, so ensure your network equipment does not require a higher category for the speeds you intend to run.
