C2G Network Patch Cable 3m Cat5e Booted Unshielded UTP Black

The Cables To Go Network Patch Cable C2G 3m Cat5e Booted Unshielded UTP in black is a 3-metre patch cable designed for data, voice and video transmission in home offices and larger network installations. It supports bandwidth-intensive applications up to 350 MHz and conforms to Cat5E TIA/EIA standards. The cable features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a moulded snagless boot that reduces cable snags and provides added strain relief.

Advantages

This Cat5e booted unshielded UTP cable delivers reliable connectivity with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for improved contact performance and corrosion resistance. The enhanced 350 MHz specification supports higher-bandwidth applications within Cat5e limits. The moulded snagless boot protects the connector latch during installation and adds strain relief to extend connector longevity. Available in black to suit standard installations and allow colour-coding when combined with other colours in the range.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, patch panel or NIC) and the other connector into the corresponding network port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; the moulded boot provides additional protection at the connector but does not replace proper cable management. For patch panel installations, label both ends as required for easy identification.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e booted UTP cable for short- to medium-length patching within a single floor or rack. Maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and combine with colour-coded cables from the same series for organised installations.
