Cat5e UTP patch cable

This Cat5e UTP patch cable provides a 6 ft link for Fast Ethernet networks. It uses 24 AWG conductors arranged in four unshielded twisted pairs. The CM-rated jacket meets general in-wall fire requirements. Snag-less RJ-45 connectors protect the locking tabs during installation.

Home and office installers needing a short.

Suitable for connecting routers, switches and wall plates where a 6 ft black cable fits the route. Not suited for installers who need longer reach, different colours or shielded cable for high-interference environments. Buyers requiring Gigabit-certified performance should verify their equipment supports the 350 MHz rating.

350 MHz Cat5e bandwidth rating

The cable is rated at 350 MHz, which determines the maximum signal frequency it can carry for Fast Ethernet applications. This single figure decides whether the link meets the bandwidth needs of the connected devices.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 6 ft Cat5e cable or a different length for my setup?

Choose the 6 ft length when the distance between your two RJ-45 ports is roughly that span; the cable is built with 24 AWG conductors and CM fire rating for permanent indoor runs.

What does the 350 MHz rating mean when the cable is installed?

The 350 MHz bandwidth is the tested frequency limit of the 4-pair UTP construction, ensuring the link meets Cat5e performance standards across the full 6 ft.

How does the RJ-45 interface and Cat5e standard cap real-world speed?

The RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and Cat5e specification support up to 1 Gbps Ethernet; the snag-less boots protect the clips during repeated insertion.
