Cat5e patch cable for short runs

This Monoprice Cat5e patch cable measures three feet and uses 24 AWG stranded pure bare copper conductors with 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The flat, unshielded twisted-pair design suits tight spaces behind desks or inside cabinets. It targets home and office users who need a reliable Gigabit link over a very short distance.

Practical limits of Cat5e at 350 MHz

The cable is rated to 350 MHz bandwidth, supporting 1 Gbps Ethernet up to the standard 100 metre channel limit, though this assembly is only 0.9144 metres long. Unshielded construction means it should be kept away from strong electromagnetic sources such as fluorescent ballasts or power bricks. Fire safety compliance follows UL 444 and TIA-568-C requirements for pure bare copper.

Installation notes and common issues

Snagless, colour-matched strain-relief boots protect the latch during repeated insertion and removal. The flat profile eases routing under carpet edges or along baseboards without bulky lumps. Stranded conductors tolerate flexing better than solid-core cable, but sharp bends or staple guns can still damage the thin 30 AWG pairs inside the jacket.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 3-foot length or a longer cable for my setup?

The 3-foot cable suits short runs between a wall jack and a nearby device; pick a longer length when the distance exceeds 0.9144 metres.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean for everyday use?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports Cat5e performance up to 1 Gbps on typical home and office networks.

Does the RJ45 interface limit the speed I can get?

The RJ45 plugs with 50 µm gold contacts carry Cat5e signals; the cable itself is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth.
