Short patch cable for tight runs

The StarTech RJ45PATCH3 is a 3 ft Category 5e UTP patch cable built for short connections between a computer, switch or router. Its compact length keeps cable management simple in crowded racks or on desks where longer leads would coil and block airflow. The blue jacket makes it easy to identify in a multi-colour wiring scheme.

Snagless boot and tested bandwidth

A moulded snagless boot protects the RJ45 latch during repeated insertions, reducing the chance of a broken clip that would require re-termination. The four-pair 24 AWG conductors are tested to 350 MHz, confirming the cable meets Category 5e performance for gigabit Ethernet links. CM-rated jacket material satisfies standard in-wall and plenum-adjacent installation requirements.

Stranded conductors for flexible routing

Stranded 24 AWG wires give the cable a supple feel that bends cleanly around patch-panel corners without kinking. Standard RJ45 plugs on both ends fit any keystone jack, wall plate or switch port without adapters. The design suits installers who need a reliable, ready-to-use link for temporary test setups or permanent short-haul connections.

Questions about this item

Will the 24 AWG conductors need replacement after repeated plugging?

The 24 AWG copper conductors are solid-core; they do not degrade from normal insertion cycles, so the cable does not require scheduled conductor replacement.

At what point does the 350 MHz rating become the limiting factor?

The cable is tested to 350 MHz; beyond that frequency the attenuation and crosstalk margins fall below Cat 5e specifications, so 350 MHz is the practical bandwidth ceiling.

Does the CM-rated jacket add noticeable heat when the link runs at full speed all day?

The CM (UL) rated jacket is designed for general-purpose indoor use and does not generate measurable heat during continuous Gigabit Ethernet operation.
