StarTech.com Cat5e Male RJ45 to Male RJ45 Ethernet Cable, U/UTP, Yellow PVC Sheath, 3m, CM Rated

Looking for an accessory to link your Ethernet devices? Turn to this high-performance Cat5e cable from StarTech.com. It's used to connect devices such as switches and routers for high-speed data transfer rates of up to 1Gbps (gigabit per second). It's also suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications as it provides up to 100W of power to compatible devices.

Superior durabilityThe cable's PVC (polyvinyl chloride) outer sheath is highly resistant to impact and wear. It also features a moulded strain relief to prevent damage caused by excessive bending at odd angles.
Long reachThis component has a 3m length that lets you link devices across large spaces, such as server rooms or office environments.

• Yellow cable jacket for colour-coding and organising your connections
• Light weight of 115g for ease of handling and storage
• Snagless RJ45 (Registered Jack) clips for simple and damage-free connection and removal

RJ45 connector clip protectors
Carefully constructed and tested, to keep Near End Crosstalk (NEXT) well within acceptable limits
coloured hoods for departmental colour coding
Molded strain relief prevents the cable from being bent at sharp angles at the RJ45 connector, to minimize the stress at the plug termination point
Constructed with top quality components
High quality 24 AWG copper wire
50-micron gold connectors ensure optimum conductivity while eliminating network signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion
RJ45 connector clip protectors help keep the plugs from snagging while routing the cable, for easier cable runs
Guaranteed reliability
Applications
Use in 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications
Supports VCSEL laser and LED light sources

What's the difference between Cat5 and Cat5e cables?The major difference between the two cables is speed. Cat5e cables have a transfer speed of up to 1Gbps, which is 10 times the maximum that can be achieved by Cat5 cables. This makes Cat5e cables a popular choice for modern network applications.
