Eight-foot Cat 5e patch cable

This eight-foot blue cable carries RJ45 connectors on both ends and meets the Cat 5e performance class. The moulded boots protect the terminations and provide strain relief during repeated plugging and unplugging. Coloured hoods allow quick visual identification when multiple cables run side by side. It is built for standard Fast Ethernet links in home or office networks.

Suits fixed desktop and patch-panel runs

The length works well for connecting a wall jack or patch panel to a nearby switch, router or computer without excess slack. Builders who need longer reach between floors or across a rack row should choose a different length. The unshielded design is not intended for environments with strong electromagnetic interference such as industrial machinery or fluorescent lighting ballasts.

Cat 5e rating determines bandwidth headroom

The Cat 5e classification sets the crosstalk and attenuation limits that define the maximum reliable data rate for this cable. If your network equipment negotiates Gigabit speeds you will need cable rated for that class instead.

Questions about this item

What does the Cat 5E rating on the M45PATCH8BL mean for network performance?

The Cat 5E rating means the cable is tested to keep Near End Crosstalk within acceptable limits for Fast Ethernet network connections.

What physical space do the moulded RJ45 connectors on this 8 ft cable need?

The moulded connectors add bulk at each end, so allow extra clearance behind the device or patch panel for the hood and strain relief.

How do I correctly seat the RJ45 plugs on the StarTech M45PATCH8BL?

Push each RJ45 plug firmly into the port until the tab clicks; the moulded strain relief prevents the cable from being bent sharply at the connector.
