Monoprice 109550 10ft Cat5e Black Flat Ethernet Cable

The Monoprice 109550 is a 10-foot Cat5e flat patch cable designed for users who need a clean, unobtrusive network connection. Its flat ribbon-style construction measures significantly thinner than standard round Ethernet cables, making it easy to run along baseboards, under area rugs, or through door frames without creating tripping hazards or visible cable clutter. The 30AWG pure bare copper conductors deliver dependable data transmission at speeds up to 1 Gbps with 350MHz bandwidth, covering the requirements of most home networks, office workstations, gaming consoles, and streaming devices.

Build quality is focused on everyday reliability. The RJ45 connectors are fitted with 50-micron gold-plated contacts that resist oxidation and maintain a stable electrical connection over time, while color-matched snagless strain relief boots prevent the locking tabs from catching on other cables or surfaces during installation and removal. As an unshielded twisted pair cable, it is best used in standard indoor environments where heavy electromagnetic interference is not a concern. For anyone looking for an affordable, low-profile Ethernet cable for a short to medium run, this Monoprice offering delivers solid performance without unnecessary bulk.
