What this cable is and who needs it

This 100 ft Cat5e patch cable delivers a standard Ethernet link for home and office networks. Blue molded PVC strain relief protects the RJ45 plugs during repeated connection cycles. The cable meets Category 5e performance specifications for everyday data transfer.

Suits fixed runs; not for gigabit backbone

Installers routing a single long drop between a router and a wall plate will find the length convenient. Builders who need shielded cable for noisy environments or runs exceeding 100 metres should look at a different category. The unshielded design also limits use in high-interference industrial settings.

Category 5e rating decides fit

The Cat5e classification determines the maximum supported bandwidth and crosstalk performance for the link. Verify that the connected equipment and overall channel design match this category before purchase.

Questions about this item

What devices need an RJ-45 port to use this 100 ft Cat5e cable?

Any network device with an RJ-45 jack — routers, switches, PCs, NAS units, or distribution panels — can plug directly into the molded connectors on both ends.

Will this Cat5e patch cable work with my older Cat5 wall jacks and 10/100 switches?

Yes. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5 infrastructure, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support, up to 100 Mbps on legacy gear.

How can I confirm the 100 ft run is performing to Cat5e spec after installation?

Use a cable certifier or a gigabit switch port LED: a solid green link light at 1 Gbps and error-free throughput tests show the cable meets Category 5e performance.
