5 ft Cat5e patch cable for 1 Gbps networks

This 5 ft yellow Cat5e patch cable connects computers, routers, switches and other RJ45 devices at up to 1 Gbps. The 350 MHz rating supports standard Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet links in home and office environments. Two moulded RJ45 male ends are ready to use without tools.

Push-tab release and strain relief simplify

Each connector has a moulded boot with integral strain relief that protects the termination when the cable is routed around corners. The snagless tab design prevents the latch from catching on adjacent cables during insertion or removal. Simply align the plug and press until the tab clicks into the port.

Verify port speed and cable category before ordering

Confirm that both endpoints have RJ45 ports rated for at least 1 Gbps to use the full 350 MHz bandwidth. The 5 ft length suits connections within a rack, on a desk or between a wall jack and a nearby device. This cable is not suited for runs that exceed the 5 ft reach or for installations requiring shielded or outdoor-rated cabling.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is performing at its rated 350MHz and 1Gbps after connecting it?

After connecting both RJ45 male ends, check the link status lights on your router or switch; a solid or blinking green LED typically confirms a negotiated 1Gbps link. For full 350MHz bandwidth validation, run a cable certifier or use a network tester that measures frequency response up to 350MHz.

What comes in the box and do I need any extra connectors or tools?

The package contains only the 5 ft Cat5e yellow patch cable with two molded RJ45 male connectors and integral strain relief. No additional connectors, couplers, or crimping tools are required for a standard patch connection.

Which version or capacity of this cable should I choose for a typical home or office run?

This single 5 ft Cat5e patch cable rated at 350MHz and 1Gbps suits most short desktop-to-switch or patch-panel links. If you need a longer run, select a different length from the same series; the Cat5e rating and 350MHz bandwidth remain consistent across lengths.
