CAT5e patch cable for Fast Ethernet

This Black Box CAT5e patch cable connects network devices with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The 15 ft beige stranded cable suits home or office runs where a reliable Fast Ethernet link is required. It is built to industry-standard Category 5e specifications for voice, data, audio/video and PoE signals.

Tested to 100-MHz CAT5e performance

The cable meets or exceeds the CAT5e standard with verified 100-MHz bandwidth, so sustained throughput remains consistent across the full length. A molded snagless boot protects the RJ-45 tab, provides strain relief and resists corrosion during long-term use. Stranded conductors maintain flexibility for routing through cabinets or around corners.

15 ft length decides the reach

At 15 ft this cable covers typical desk-to-switch or patch-panel distances without excess slack. Buyers who need longer runs or a different colour should choose another variant. The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends fit standard Ethernet ports on routers, switches, PCs and IP devices.

Questions about this item

Will the 15 ft CAT5e patch cord add heat or noise to a rack that runs all day?

No, the cable is passive and has no active components, so it generates no heat and makes no noise regardless of how long it runs.

What connectors must my switch and device already have to use this RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male cable?

Both ends need a standard RJ-45 female port, which is the common jack found on switches, routers, PCs and IP cameras.

Will this 100 MHz rated CAT5e cable work reliably with older 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps equipment I still use?

Yes, the cable meets the Category 5e specification and is fully backward compatible with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX networks.
