6 ft Cat5e Red Molded RJ45 UTP Cat 5e Patch Cable - 6ft Patch Cord

StarTech ID: M45PATCH6RD

Two red Ethernet cables with connector pins, shown against a white background (no text or symbols visible)

The M45PAT6RD Cat5e Patch Cable (6 ft) meets or exceeds all Cat 5e specifications to ensure reliable Ethernet network connections, and features a durable red PVC jacket that enables you to color code your network cable run as needed.

To ensure long-lasting performance, this high quality Cat5e patch cable 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 molded patch cable offers high quality connectors comprised of 50-micron gold, to deliver optimum conductiv while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.

Applications

• Designed for use with Fast Ethernet networks
• Patches from hub to distribution panel
• Connects workstation to wall outlet

Features

• Molded RJ45 connectors
- Carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits
