20 ft Cat 5E patch cable

This 20 ft Cat 5E patch cable uses stranded conductors and RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The boot and snagless design protect the clip during routing. It supports 350 MHz bandwidth for standard Ethernet links.

Suits fixed desktop or rack runs

The 20 ft length suits connections between a wall jack and a desk, switch or router in the same room. Installers who need a shorter patch for a dense patch panel or a longer run across multiple rooms should look at a different length.

Fits any RJ-45 port

The cable plugs directly into any standard RJ-45 jack on a NIC, switch, router or wall plate. No external power or configuration is required. The stranded construction keeps the cable flexible for tight bends behind furniture or inside cable management channels.

Questions about this item

What RJ-45 ports do I need on my devices for this cable to connect?

Each end has an RJ-45 male plug, so both devices must provide a standard RJ-45 female jack.

Will this Cat 5E cable work with my older Cat 5 wall jacks and switches?

Yes, the Cat 5E specification is backward compatible with Cat 5 infrastructure at 350 MHz.

How can I confirm the link is running at the expected speed after I plug it in?

Check the connection status on your device; it should report a 1 Gbps link when both ports negotiate Gigabit Ethernet.
