Monoprice 100145 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable - 50ft White

The Monoprice 100145 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable is a 50-foot network cable built with pure bare copper stranded conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors. Unlike budget cables that use copper-clad aluminum, the solid copper construction here ensures consistent signal integrity across the full length of the cable, which matters when you're running data across a room or between floors. The 24AWG stranded wire design gives the cable enough flexibility to route cleanly along walls, under carpet, or through cable management channels without becoming stiff or kinked.

Rated at 350MHz bandwidth, this Cat5e cable comfortably handles Gigabit Ethernet speeds for everyday networking tasks including file transfers, streaming, gaming, and VoIP. The UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction keeps the cable lightweight and easy to work with, though users in environments with significant electrical interference may want to consider a shielded option. At 50 feet, this cable provides enough length for most home office and small business setups, connecting workstations, printers, NAS devices, or access points to a router or switch without needing a coupler or extension.
