100 ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable

This 100-foot Cat5e patch cable connects network devices using two RJ45 male connectors. It is built with four-pair stranded UTP conductors inside a blue PVC jacket and rated for 350 MHz bandwidth. The snagless molded boots protect the locking tabs during installation and removal. It suits home, office or data-centre runs up to 100 metres.

Upgrade From Standard Cat5e Cables

The snagless design replaces standard patch cables whose exposed tabs break off and cause intermittent links. The 350 MHz rating supports 1 Gbps speeds where older unrated cables may drop packets. The jump is worth it when cable routing involves tight bends or frequent re-patching that would damage ordinary connectors. For permanent in-wall runs a solid-core cable is usually specified instead.

Easy Snagless Installation

Push each RJ45 plug until the latch clicks; the molded boot prevents the tab from catching on adjacent cables. The stranded construction stays flexible for routing around corners without kinking. What usually goes wrong is exceeding the 100 metre channel limit or mixing cable categories, which degrades signal integrity. Verify the link lights show 1 Gbps after termination.

Questions about this item

Will the 100 ft length and RJ45 connectors reach my router and PC without extra couplers?

The cable is 100 ft long with RJ45 male connectors on both ends, so it connects two RJ45 ports directly without couplers.

How do I avoid breaking the tabs when routing the snagless molded connectors through tight spaces?

The snagless boots protect the locking tabs; feed the connector straight through openings without twisting, and pull gently on the boot rather than the cable.

When should I replace this 350 MHz Cat5e cable if performance drops?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cracks, the strain relief splits, or connectors become loose, as damage to the 4-pair stranded UTP can reduce the 350 MHz rating.
