Ready for Fast Ethernet

This five-foot Cat5e patch cable links two RJ45 ports for Fast Ethernet connections. The snagless moulded boots protect the release tabs during routine moves. Blue jacketing makes the run easy to trace in a crowded rack or desk bundle. It suits installers who need a dependable short link without extra bulk.

CM-rated jacket handles 350 MHz

The CM fire rating meets standard in-wall and plenum-adjacent requirements for commercial installs. Twenty-four AWG conductors support the rated 350 MHz bandwidth with minimal attenuation over the short length. Snagless ends reduce connector damage that can degrade signal integrity over time. No active cooling or power draw is involved.

Snagless boots simplify maintenance

The protective boot design prevents tab breakage when cables are pulled through tight pathways or dense patch panels. This reduces re-termination work and keeps the link reliable through repeated connects and disconnects. No software, drivers or additional accessories are included or required. Builders needing longer runs or higher category ratings should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

How do I install the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the release tabs?

Press the connector straight into the port until the tab clicks; the snagless boot prevents the tab from catching on adjacent cables during insertion or removal.

What maintenance or replacement will this Cat5e patch cable need over time?

Inspect the boot and jacket for cracks or kinks; replace the cable if the connectors become loose or the cable shows physical damage.

What limit appears first when this 350 MHz cable runs at full load for long periods?

The CM fire rating restricts use to in-wall or horizontal runs; it is not rated for plenum spaces or outdoor exposure.
