StarTech.com, 2m Cat5e, Black RJ45 to Male RJ45 Male, U/UTP Unshielded, Terminated PVC Sheath

The 45PAT2MBK Cat5e patch cable (2m) meets or exceeds all Cat 5e cable specifications to ensure reliable Ethernet network connections, and features a durable black PVC jacket that enables you to color code your network cable runs as needed.

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.

What is the difference between stranded and solid Ethernet Cables?

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.

What is the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e Ethernet cables?

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.
