Installation Notes

This Cat5e patch cable is designed for indoor use and provides reliable Ethernet connectivity for a wide range of networking applications. The snagless boot design is particularly valuable in high-density installations where cables are frequently moved or reorganized, as it prevents the fragile RJ-45 locking tab from breaking.

The stranded bare-copper construction provides flexibility for easier routing compared to solid-core cables, making these patch cables ideal for connecting devices to wall jacks, patch panels, or network switches. The multiple length options allow you to choose the perfect size for your installation, minimizing excess cable and keeping your network organized.

Color-coded options help maintain organization in complex network installations, allowing you to designate different colors for different network types, VLANs, or connection purposes.
