Make Fast Ethernet network connections using this high quality Cat5e Cable, with Power-over-Ethernet capability

The 45PATCH3GR Cat5e Patch Cable (3 ft) meets or exceeds all Cat 5e specifications to ensure reliable Ethernet network connections, and features a durable gray 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 damage, which could decrease network performance.

Constructed of only top quality materials, this Cat5e Patch Cord delivers reliable performance and is backed by our Lifetime Warranty.

100% Copper - a better value

StarTech.com Cat5e cables are manufactured using high-quality copper conductors. While many cable manufacturers offer a \"cheaper\" cable, based on a copper-coated aluminum core, we make no compromises on quality to ensure you receive top value and performance for your network cable investment.

24 AWG Wire

This Cat 5e cable is constructed with 24 gauge copper wire, to support a broad range of Ethernet applications such as Power over Ethernet (PoE). Because we use a high quality copper wire, our cables easily sustain the power required for Power over Ethernet applications, whereas the inferior quality offered by copper-coated aluminum cables may be subject to insufficient power delivery, heat buildup, equipment damage and potentially, fire.

50-micron Gold Connectors

This RJ45 patch cable offers high quality connectors comprised of 50-micron gold, to deliver optimum conductivity while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.
