Cable Leader 15ft Cat5e Non-Booted Network Ethernet Cable Red

15 ft Cat5e patch cable for Gigabit networks

This 15-foot Cat5e patch cable provides a wired Gigabit Ethernet connection using 24 AWG bare copper conductors. The non-booted RJ45 plugs are designed for high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where space is limited. It is tested to 350 MHz and supports 1000BASE-T performance for structured cabling in offices, server rooms and data centers. The red jacket helps with colour-coded cable management.

Non-booted plug eases dense installations

Without a molded boot the RJ45 connector seats cleanly in tightly packed patch panels and improves airflow around the port. The 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity over repeated insertions. Installers should ensure the latch clicks fully; the slim profile can feel less tactile than booted plugs. Cable routing is simpler because the connector passes through narrow trunking and cable managers without snagging.

Verify port spacing and PoE needs before ordering

Confirm the target patch panel or keystone jack accepts non-booted 8P8C plugs without clearance issues. The cable is unshielded UTP, so avoid running it parallel to power cables or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. It carries PoE under the supported standards, but check the power budget of the connected switch or injector matches the end device. Length is fixed at 15 ft; measure the run to avoid excess slack or tension.
