3 ft Red Cat5e patch cable

This 3 ft red Cat5e patch cable uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors and 50 micron gold plated contacts. It is built to UL 444 and TIA 568 C standards with unshielded twisted pairs rated for 350 MHz bandwidth. The short length suits rack patching or desktop links where slack must be minimal.

Sustained signal integrity

Stranded conductors resist fatigue from repeated bending while the gold plated contacts maintain low resistance over many mating cycles. The 350 MHz rating supports gigabit Ethernet traffic continuously without the signal degradation seen in copper clad aluminum alternatives. Snagless strain relief boots protect the latch during frequent reconnections in dense panels.

Snagless boot eases installation

Color matched snagless boots prevent the latch from catching on adjacent cables during pulls through cable managers. Pure bare copper meets fire code requirements that reject CCA wire in plenum or riser pathways. The 3 ft length limits reach to nearby ports so installers must verify device spacing before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 350 MHz Cat5e cable generate when running continuously?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active components, so it produces no measurable heat or audible noise during all-day operation.

What equipment must already have RJ45 ports for this 24 AWG stranded patch cord to work?

Any switch, router, modem, PC, printer, NAS, IP camera or other network device with a standard RJ45 jack will accept the gold-plated connectors on this cable.

Will the 3 ft red Cat5e cable with 50 µm gold contacts interoperate with older 10/100 Mbps gear still on the network?

Yes, Cat5e is fully backward compatible with 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX equipment, so the cable will negotiate the highest speed both ends support.
