45PAT5MBL Cat5e Patch Cable This 5-meter Cat5e cable meets or exceeds all Category 5e cable specifications to ensure reliable Ethernet network connections. Plus, the cable features a durable blue PVC jacket that enables you to color code your network cable runs as needed.

Snagless RJ45 clips help protect your network connections

For easier cable runs, the snagless connectors protect the cable’s RJ45 clips during installation, making them less likely to snag or break. This ensures a sturdy connection by preventing the cable from becoming loose from the port.

The cable features moulded boots that offer connector strain relief, by stopping the RJ45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles, and reducing the risk of damage to the cable, which could decrease network performance.

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.
