StarTech 6 ft Blue Cat5e Patch Cable

The StarTech S45PATCH6BL is a six-foot Category 5e shielded patch cable terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Its blue jacket and snagless, moulded boots protect the latch during frequent moves. The construction is rated for standard twisted-pair networking and arrives in new condition.

Suited for short Cat5e links.

This cable fits workstations, switches or patch panels that need a short, shielded Cat5e connection with snagless protection. Buyers who need a longer reach, a different colour, or a Cat6 or Cat6a rating should select another cable.

Shielded Cat5e with snagless RJ-45 ends

The single specification that decides fit is the shielded Category 5e construction combined with snagless moulded RJ-45 plugs. If the installation requires that exact combination at a six-foot length, this cable matches; otherwise a different specification is required.

Questions about this item

Does the Cat5e shielding add noticeable heat or power draw when the link runs all day?

No, the shielded Cat5e patch cable is completely passive and adds no measurable heat or power consumption during continuous use.

What equipment must I already have for the RJ-45 connectors on this cable to work?

You need two devices with standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports such as a router, switch, PC or network-attached storage appliance.

Will the snagless boot design fit tightly spaced ports on my older switch?

Yes, the moulded snagless boots are sized for standard RJ-45 jacks and clear adjacent ports on legacy switches and patch panels.
