6 ft Cat5e Patch Cable

This 6 ft Cat5e patch cable provides a wired Ethernet link for workstations, printers or network switches. The blue jacket and coloured hoods support departmental colour coding in office or rack environments. It is built for general-purpose indoor runs where a short, flexible connection is needed.

Category 5e 350 MHz rating

The cable meets Category 5e specifications with a 350 MHz bandwidth rating and TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring. Constructed from 24 AWG 100% copper conductors with 50 micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts, it supports Fast Ethernet and Power-over-Ethernet loads while keeping near-end crosstalk within limits.

Molded strain relief and CMG rating

PVC molded strain relief protects the RJ45 termination points from sharp bends that can degrade signal quality over time. The CMG-rated jacket carries FT4 fire rating and UL Type CM certification for in-wall or plenum-adjacent routing. Connectors are RJ45 male on both ends, so the cable plugs directly into standard Ethernet ports without adapters.

Questions about this item

What does the 350 MHz Cat5e rating mean for actual network speed?

The cable is tested to 350 MHz, well above the 100 MHz required for 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, so it supports full Fast Ethernet throughput.

What does the RJ45 T568B wiring standard determine for this cable?

It fixes the pin-out to the T568B arrangement, ensuring straight-through compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and patch panels.

What clearance does the 24 AWG UTP construction with molded boots need behind a patch panel?

The 24 AWG 4-pair UTP jacket and PVC molded strain relief add minimal bulk, fitting standard high-density patch panels without special clearance.
