Cat5e patch cable for Fast Ethernet

The StarTech 45PATCH20GR is a 20 ft Cat5e patch cable built with 100% copper conductors and a gray PVC jacket. It meets or exceeds Cat5e specifications and supports Power-over-Ethernet for devices such as access points or IP cameras. The snagless connector design protects RJ45 clips during routing.

Replaces worn or shorter Cat5 cables

Swap this in when an existing Cat5 link drops packets or limits throughput to 100 Mbps. The 20 ft length suits runs between a desk and a wall jack or across a small rack without excess slack. The jump is worth it when you need reliable Fast Ethernet and PoE on a single cable.

Snagless boots and molded strain relief ease

Flexible PVC jacket and snagless boots let the cable slide through cable trays and tight corners without catching on adjacent wires. Molded strain relief stops sharp bends at the connector ends that can break conductors over time. Avoid kinking the cable sharply during pulls to keep performance consistent.

Questions about this item

What length and connector type does this Cat5e patch cable use?

The cable is 20 ft long and terminates in standard RJ45 connectors on both ends.

How does the snagless design affect the installation step most people rush?

The molded boot protects the RJ45 clip so it will not catch or break when you pull the cable through tight spaces; feed it slowly to avoid kinking the PVC jacket.

When should I consider replacing this copper Cat5e patch cord?

Replace it if the jacket is cut, the connectors feel loose in the port, or you upgrade the link speed beyond 1 Gbps and need Cat6 or higher.
