Eight-Pack for Dense Installations

This eight-pack supplies eight Cat 5e patch cables, each one foot long, for wiring rack shelves, wall plates or desktop switches where short runs keep cable management tidy. The blue jacket colour-codes the links at a glance. They suit installers, network technicians and home-office builders who need multiple Gigabit-ready drops in a single purchase.

Snagless Boots and Gold Contacts

Each cable uses 24 AWG bare copper conductors terminated with RJ45 plugs that carry gold-plated contacts and moulded strain-relief boots. The snagless design protects the release tab during repeated insertions and removals, while the gold plating resists oxidation for a lasting low-resistance connection. The flexible jacket routes easily around tight corners without kinking.

Verify Port Speed and Run Length

Confirm that the connected equipment negotiates at 1000 Mbps; the cable is rated to 350 MHz bandwidth and meets the TIA/EIA 568-B Category 5e standard, so it will not deliver 10 Gbps speeds required by higher-category infrastructures. Ensure the one-foot length reaches between your specific devices without tension, as no longer variants are included in this pack.

Questions about this item

What practical speed does the Cat 5e standard and 350 MHz bandwidth cap at?

The Cat 5e cable supports up to 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet speeds with 350 MHz bandwidth for high-speed data transfer.

What physical space and port type does the 1 ft snagless cable with RJ45 connectors need?

The 1 ft length fits tight spaces; RJ45 connectors with strain-relief boots plug into standard Ethernet ports on routers, switches, PCs, and PoE devices.

How do I install the cable correctly, and what common mistake should I avoid?

Press each RJ45 plug firmly until the tab clicks; the mistake is not seating the connector fully, which causes intermittent links.
