Patch cable for dense installs

The Cable Leader 3ft Cat5e non-booted Ethernet cable provides a Gigabit wired link in a compact purple run. Its unshielded 24 AWG bare copper construction uses four twisted pairs with 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The short length suits rack-to-panel jumps and desk connections in offices, server rooms and data centres. RoHS compliant with UL and ETL verification.

Cat5e bandwidth ceiling

The Cat5e standard is rated for 100 MHz, though this cable is tested to 350 MHz for extra margin on Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). It cannot carry 10 Gbps speeds that require Cat6a or higher categories. Maximum segment distance remains 100 metres for Gigabit, so longer runs need repeaters or switches. Unshielded design offers no protection against strong electromagnetic interference.

Upgrade from older patch cords

This cable replaces legacy Cat5 or worn patch leads that limit links to 100 Mbps or suffer from damaged boots in tight panels. The non-booted plug eases insertion in high-density patch panels and keystone jacks where boot space is unavailable. It is not for installers who need shielded cable, 10 Gbps headroom or runs beyond the Cat5e distance limit.

Questions about this item

Which length and color should I pick for a short patch-panel run?

Choose the 3 ft purple variant from the C5102 family; other lengths and colors are available in the same series for different rack distances.

What does the 350 MHz test rating mean for actual throughput?

The cable is verified to 350 MHz, well above the Cat5e 100 MHz baseline, so it reliably carries 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet across the full 100 m channel.

How does the non-booted RJ45 affect dense patch-panel installs?

Without a molded boot the 8P8C plug seats cleanly in tight keystone jacks and high-density panels, improving airflow and easing cable management.
