StarTech.com, 1 m Cat5e Ethernet Cable, Grey Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath Unscreened, U/UTP

To ensure long-lasting performance, this high quality Cat5e patch cable features a snagless design that protects the RJ45 connector clips from damage and makes the cable less prone to snagging during installation. The cable also features molded PVC strain relief that prevents the RJ45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles, reducing the risk of cable failure.

Constructed of only top quality materials, this Cat5e patch cord delivers reliable performance and is backed by our lifetime warranty.

Get the highest value for your cable investment with our Cat 5e cables, each one manufactured using high-quality copper conductors.

Ensure high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications, such as Power-over-Ethernet, using cables that include 24 AWG copper.

Rely on our RJ45 connectors to deliver optimum conductivity while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.

• Carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits

• Colored hoods for departmental color coding

• Molded strain relief prevents the cable from being bent at sharp angles at the RJ45 connector, to minimize the stress at the plug termination point

• Constructed with top quality components

• High quality 24 AWG copper wire

• 50-micron gold connectors ensure optimum conductivity while eliminating network signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion

• RJ45 connector clip protectors help keep the plugs from snagging while routing the cable, for easier Cat5e cable runs

• Guaranteed reliability

• Patches from hub to distribution panel

• Connects workstation to wall outlet

Stranded Ethernet cables are flexible and are often used as patch cables, short cables that are ideal for connecting a computer to a wall outlet or to a router.

Although identical in their appearances, the key difference between the Cat5 and Cat5e Ethernet cables are down to the performance. Cat5e can support faster and more reliable data transmission, typically of 1,000 Mbit/s or 1Gbit/s which is 10x the speed of regular Cat5 cables which is typically 10-100Mbits/s. Cat5e being the newer cable has improved interference/ crosstalk than Cat5.
