StarTech.com’s Yellow CAT5e 5m Cable - 45PAT5MYL

StarTech's high-performance ethernet cable is packed with everything you need for running secure and speedy connections. The network cable offers 100% copper conductors, gold connectors, and is terminated ready for immediate use.

Optimal Length

• What's great about StarTech’s ethernet range is that they have a multitude of options to suit your networking needs. This cable is 5m in length, allowing you to connect applications like an RJ45 wall jack to a network hub in and around your office. StarTech.com realise the importance of colour too and have provided an excellent selection to choose from. This ethernet cable is yellow, which means you can configure and organise your network easily by colour coding.

Snagless Protection

• Prevent the chances of decreased performance through breakages with a snagless style. The moulded boot minimises the risk of breaking the RJ45 clips during the installation process, protecting the connector to fit with your requirements.

StarTech.com have even added PVC moulded strain relief for when the cable is bent at an acute angle, reducing the risk of cable failure while increasing its longevity.

24 AWG and 100% Copper

• This cat5e features 24 AWG sized copper wires, which allow less resistance when carrying signals. It also produces less heat than other sizes and these two characteristics combined make it a perfect match for its 5m length. Using high-quality 100% copper conductors in this cat5e patch cable not only means that it's excellent value for investment, but it also specifically helps to reduce interference from near end cross talk noise (NEXT), which boosts reliability in transferring data.

Even better, it features Power-over-Ethernet and is able to stream 4k video, these things combined make it unrivalled for a first-class network connection.

Gold Connectors

• StarTech.com’s experts purposely chose to use 50-micron thick gold connectors to support the longevity of these CAT 5e cables. By using the thickest gold plating available, the network cable maintains a fast and reliable connection over a longer period of time, withstanding up to x4 as much throughput as a standard metal connector. The RJ-45 connectors also eliminate signal loss due to the non-corrosive material.

This patch cable houses the wires in a durable yellow PVC jacket. For peace of mind, StarTech provide a lifetime warranty with all their cables.
