Connection basics

This Belkin Cat 5E patch cable links computers, routers, switches and other LAN devices using standard RJ45 connectors at each end. The five-foot gray cord is built with copper conductors and meets or exceeds Category 5E performance specifications for 10/100 Base-T networks.

Build integration

The snagless moulded boots prevent the plugs from catching on adjacent cables or panel openings during routing, while strain relief stops sharp bends at the connector that could degrade signal quality. Its unshielded flexible jacket suits typical indoor runs where electromagnetic interference is low.

Upgrade context

The cable replaces older Category 5 or damaged patch leads that limit a 10/100 link to unreliable speeds. It is not intended for installations that require Gigabit or 10 Gigabit throughput, shielded cabling or plenum-rated jackets.

Questions about this item

How far can I run the 5 ft cable at 100 Mbps without signal loss?

The cable meets Cat 5E specifications and supports 10/100 Base-T networks, so a 5 ft run stays well within the 100 m channel limit for 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Does the unshielded design cause noticeable heat or interference during continuous all-day use?

The copper conductors carry only low-voltage Ethernet signals, so the cable generates no measurable heat and the unshielded construction is standard for typical office or home LAN environments.

What devices must I already have to use this patch cable?

You need two pieces of equipment with RJ-45 ports such as a computer, router, switch or network-attached storage device to connect with the male RJ-45 plugs on each end.
