CAT5E No Boot Ethernet Patch Cable - Unshielded

No boot, no bulk. A bare RJ45 plug is as narrow as the port it goes into, so these cords sit side by side across a full patch panel without crowding each other, and the latch is right there under your thumb when you need to pull one. It's the plain, inexpensive patch cord for jumpering ports in a rack, a desktop switch, or a lab bench.

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors keep it flexible. It is rated for Gigabit Ethernet and meets Category 5e, and it works with all Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A equipment.

Features

• Non-booted RJ45 plugs. With nothing around the plug, cords fit in adjacent ports on the densest panels, and the latch is easy to reach.
• Gigabit rated. It runs 10/100/1000 Mbps links, and 2.5GBase-T on equipment that supports it.
• 24 AWG stranded bare copper. Full-gauge conductors with no copper-clad aluminum, and the stranding keeps it flexible.
• Unshielded (UTP). No shield means no grounding to worry about and an easy cable to route.
• Flexible PVC jacket. The cable is RoHS compliant.
• T568B wiring. It comes in 0.5 to 100 ft lengths and nine colors for color-coding your network.

Where It Fits

It suits patch panel to switch jumpers, dense rack installations, desktop switches and lab benches, home and small office networks, and any Gigabit connection where a cheap, reliable cord is all the job needs.

Good to Know

There's no boot to protect the latch, so this cord is best where it gets plugged in and left alone. For cables that get moved often or pulled through bundles, choose a snagless booted cord. Cat5e is a Gigabit cable; if the link needs 10G, use Cat6A.
