CAT5E Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable - Unshielded

This is the everyday Gigabit patch cord. Wall jack to desk, router to switch, switch to access point, printer, VoIP phone, TV: if the job is "connect this to that at Gigabit," this is the cable, and it comes in seventeen lengths from half a foot to 100 feet so you can buy the run you need instead of coiling up slack.

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors keep it flexible, and the snagless boot keeps the latch from breaking when you pull it through a bundle or out from behind a desk. It is rated for Gigabit Ethernet and meets Category 5e, and it works with all Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A equipment.

Features

• Gigabit rated. It runs 10/100/1000 Mbps links, and 2.5GBase-T on equipment that supports it.
• Molded snagless strain-relief boot. It protects the latch and makes the cord easy to pull through bundles without snagging.
• 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.

• T568B wiring. It comes in 0.5 to 100 ft lengths and nine colors for color-coding your network.

Where It Fits

It suits desks and wall jacks, home and small office networks, patch panel to switch links, access points and VoIP phones, classrooms and labs, and any Gigabit connection that gets plugged and unplugged more than once.

Good to Know

Cat5e is a Gigabit cable; if the link needs 10G, use Cat6A. For a spot next to motors, welders, or high-voltage gear, use the shielded version of this cord.
