Know before you buy
Yes, this cable is fully compatible with Power over Ethernet applications, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points.
The snagless design features a molded cover over the RJ45 locking tab. This prevents the tab from snapping off or catching on other cables when you are pulling it through tight spaces or cable management racks.
Absolutely. This Cat5e cable is rated for bandwidth up to 350 MHz and supports data transfer speeds of 1 Gbps, which is perfectly adequate for standard 1000Base-T Ethernet home and office networks.
Because this cable uses solid copper wire rather than stranded wire, it is slightly stiffer and better suited for permanent, long-distance horizontal runs through walls or ceilings rather than frequent movement.
The gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide superior resistance to corrosion and ensure a more reliable, precise electrical connection over the life of the cable compared to standard nickel-plated alternatives.
