10 ft Cat5e Snagless Patch Cable
This 10 ft Cat5e patch cable connects network devices with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for Fast Ethernet links and carries a CM fire rating for in-wall runs. The black jacket uses 24 AWG copper conductors arranged in four twisted pairs.
Snagless Connectors With Gold Contacts
RJ45 connector clip protectors stop the locking tabs from catching during insertion or removal. Each contact is plated with 50-micron gold to resist oxidation and maintain low resistance over repeated mating cycles. The snagless boot also reduces strain on the cable termination point.
Suited For Fixed Fast Ethernet Links
Installers wiring patch panels, switches or wall outlets at Fast Ethernet speeds will find the length and CM rating convenient. Builders needing Gigabit or 10 Gigabit certified performance, longer runs beyond 10 ft, or plenum-rated jacket material should select a different cable category.

Questions about this item
Will the 24 AWG copper conductors or 50-micron gold RJ-45 contacts need replacement over time?
The 24 AWG solid copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts are rated for the cable's lifetime; only physical damage to the snagless boots or connectors would require a new patch cord.
What performance limit appears first when the 10 ft Cat5e run carries sustained Fast Ethernet traffic?
The 100 MHz Cat5e bandwidth ceiling caps throughput at 100 Mbps, so sustained Fast Ethernet loads hit the category rating before length or conductor resistance becomes a factor.
Does the CM-rated jacket or snagless design change heat or power handling during all-day PoE use?
The CM fire rating and snagless boots do not alter thermal or electrical limits; the 24 AWG copper pairs carry PoE currents within standard Cat5e temperature rise specifications for continuous operation.
