Lumenzi EC-5E-5-GRY-2 Cat 5e Ethernet Cable 5 FT Grey 2 Pack

Two-pack Cat 5e cables for home networking

This two-pack supplies two grey Cat 5e patch cables, each 5 ft long, with gold-plated RJ45 connectors and snagless boots. They are built from 100% bare copper conductors inside a shielded, UV-resistant PVC jacket rated for indoor and outdoor use, including direct burial. The cables support up to 1 Gbps data transfer at 350 MHz bandwidth for routers, consoles, PCs, printers and CCTV systems.

1 Gbps throughput with 350 MHz headroom

Each cable delivers gigabit speeds up to 100 metres, so a 5 ft run leaves ample margin for latency-sensitive gaming, HD streaming and large file transfers. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating provides extra headroom above the base 100 MHz Cat 5e specification, reducing crosstalk and keeping signal integrity stable across the full length. Performance runs out only when the link exceeds 1 Gbps or the installed run approaches the 100 metre channel limit.

Upgrade from older patch cords or CCA cables

These replace worn Cat 5 or non-shielded patch leads that cannot guarantee gigabit throughput, and they avoid copper-clad aluminium conductors that degrade signal quality over time. The jump is worth it when you need weatherproof durability for outdoor runs, snagless boots for frequent reconnects, or verified bare copper for consistent 1 Gbps links. They do not serve installations that require Cat 6 or higher certified performance.
