Monoprice 111235 Cat5e 10ft Black Ethernet Cable

The Monoprice 111235 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable is a 10-foot networking cable built with 24AWG pure bare copper conductors, setting it apart from cheaper alternatives that use copper-clad aluminum. Pure copper provides lower resistance and more consistent signal transmission, which translates to reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance for streaming, gaming, file transfers, and everyday internet use. The 350 MHz bandwidth rating meets full Cat5e specifications, ensuring compatibility with standard networking equipment.

Attention to connector quality makes this cable a durable everyday choice. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 contacts resist oxidation and maintain a clean electrical connection through repeated plug-and-unplug cycles. Color-matched snagless strain relief boots protect the locking tab from breaking off, a common failure point on lesser cables that can lead to loose connections. The Unshielded Twisted Pair design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route along walls, behind desks, or through cable management systems in typical home and office environments.
