StarTech.com, 0.5m Cat5e, Grey RJ45 to Male RJ45 Male, U/UTPUnshielded, Terminated PVC Sheath

This Cat5e patch cable delivers reliable network connections, which ensures high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications.

Find the length and color you need

This 0.5-meter gray network cable is perfect for use in server closets, patch panels and with Ethernet hubs. The cable is intended for short-distance applications such as point-to-point in-rack and across-rack network switch and server connections.

For easier network installations, our Cat 5e cables are available in a wide variety of lengths and colors. This ensures you have the right size of cable available when you need it and it lets you color code your connections for a more organized setup.

Snagless RJ45 clips help protect your network connections

For trouble-free cable runs, this durable cable features snagless connectors that protect the RJ45 clips during installation, making them less likely to snag or break.

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

100% copper for outstanding value

Get the highest value for your cable investment with our Cat5e Ethernet cables, each one manufactured using high-quality copper conductors. They are carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits.

24-gauge wire for high-performance network connection

Ensure high-performance capability for your demanding Ethernet applications, such as Power-over-Ethernet and 4K or 1080p video streaming, using cables that include 24 AWG copper.

50-micron gold connectors provide peak conductivity

You can rely on our RJ45 connectors to deliver optimum conductivity, while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.

The 45PAT50CMGR is backed by StarTech.com’s lifetime warranty for guaranteed reliability.

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.
