Ready-to-use Cat5e patch lead

This twelve-foot blue cable has RJ45 male plugs on both ends and a moulded strain-relief boot. It is built to the Cat5e 350 MHz specification and supports 1000Base-T, 100Base-T and 10Base-T Ethernet. The stranded UTP construction makes it flexible for desk or rack connections.

Suits home and office links needing a short run

It connects computers, printers, switches, routers, servers, copiers or Blu-ray players in a single 12 ft segment. Installers who need longer distances, outdoor-rated jacket, shielded pairs or pre-terminated trunk lengths should choose a different cable type.

Cat5e 350 MHz rating sets the bandwidth ceiling

The 350 MHz bandwidth handles gigabit Ethernet over the full 12 ft length. If the network design calls for 10 GbE, 2.5 GbE or certified Cat6 performance, this cable does not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

What devices do I need with RJ45 ports to use this 12 ft Cat5e cable?

You need two devices with RJ45 ports — such as a computer, router, switch, printer, copier, server or Blu-ray player — to connect with the male RJ45 plugs on each end of this 12 ft cable.

Will this Cat5e 350 MHz cable work with my older 10/100Base-T equipment?

Yes, the cable is designed for 1000Base-T, 100Base-T and 10Base-T networks, so it will operate with older 10/100Base-T hardware at the speed that hardware supports.

How can I verify the cable is performing at Gigabit speed after I plug it in?

Check the link lights on both connected devices — they should show a 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps connection — and run a speed test or file transfer to confirm throughput near 1000 Mbps.
