StarTech Cat5e 10 ft red patch cable

This 10 ft red Category 5e patch cable carries RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and uses copper conductors with snagless boots and strain relief. It is built to CM UL, ETL and FCC certifications for permanent or temporary network links. The red jacket helps identify the run in a busy rack or wall plate.

Suits installers adding a single coloured drop

Buyers who need a longer run, a different colour code, or a higher category rating for multi-gigabit speeds should select another cable. The fixed 10 ft length cannot be shortened or extended without re-termination.

Category 5e rating

The Cat 5e classification determines the maximum bandwidth the cable can support, so it is the single specification that decides whether this part matches the network speed required.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ-45 ports to use this 10 ft Cat5e cable?

Any network equipment with standard RJ-45 jacks — routers, switches, PCs, printers, NAS boxes — will accept the male connectors on both ends.

Will this Cat5e patch cable slow down a Gigabit switch I already own?

The cable is rated for Cat5e performance, which supports up to 1 Gbps, so it will not bottleneck a Gigabit Ethernet port.

How can I confirm the cable is passing traffic after I plug it in?

Check for blinking link/activity LEDs on both connected ports and run a ping or speed test between the two devices.
