Belkin Cat 5E patch cable 12 ft

This Belkin A3L791-12-BLU-S cable is a Category 5E patch lead designed for wired Local Area Network connections. It links computers, routers, switches and other RJ45-equipped devices in home or office environments. The 12 ft length suits typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-patch-panel runs. It is a straightforward replacement for worn or missing Cat 5E cords.

Snagless RJ45 connectors unshielded blue

Both ends carry RJ45 male plugs with snagless boots that protect the locking tab during frequent insertion and removal. The cable uses unshielded twisted-pair construction and a blue jacket for easy colour coding in crowded cabinets. Connectors are wired straight-through for standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet. No shielding means it stays flexible for tight routing behind furniture or through trunking.

Upgrades damaged Cat 5 or slower cords

Replacing a broken Cat 5 lead or a shorter cable that forces awkward device placement restores reliable 10/100 Mbps throughput. The jump is worth it when the existing cord has a cracked jacket, bent pins or a failed locking tab that drops the link. Buyers needing Gigabit speeds, shielded runs or longer distances will need a higher-category or shielded cable instead.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat 5E rating actually deliver on this cable?

The Cat 5E rating supports 10/100 Base-T networks, so the practical cap is 100 Mbps.

What physical clearance do the snagless RJ45 plugs need?

Each end uses a standard RJ45 male connector with a snagless boot that adds a few millimetres beyond the jack.

How do I seat the snagless plugs without damaging the latch?

Press the plug straight in until the latch clicks; the snagless hood protects the tab, but angling the plug can still bend it.
