Belkin A3L791-14-PUR-S network ethernet cable 14 ft Cat 5E purple

14 ft Cat 5E Patch Cable

This Belkin A3L791-14-PUR-S cable provides a 14 ft Category 5e connection with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses bare stranded copper conductors sized at 24AWG across four pairs and features 50 micron gold-plated contacts. The purple jacket makes it easy to identify in a busy rack or desk setup. It is rated for characteristic impedance of 100±15 ohms at 1 to 100 MHz.

Tool-Free RJ45 Installation

The moulded RJ45 plugs snap directly into any standard IEEE 802.3 network port without tools or drivers. Because the cable is unshielded, avoid running it parallel to power cables or fluorescent ballasts to prevent interference. The stranded construction tolerates repeated bending but sharp kinks near the connector can degrade signal quality over time. Ensure the latch clicks fully into the port for a reliable link.

Verify Port Type and Run Length

Confirm that both devices present standard RJ45 Ethernet ports compatible with IEEE 802.3 wiring. The 14 ft length suits typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel runs; measure the actual path including slack before ordering. This cable carries no shielding, so it is not suited for environments with heavy electromagnetic noise. The gold-plated pins resist oxidation in normal indoor conditions.
