Monoprice 111389 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable 7ft - White

The Monoprice 111389 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable is a 7-foot white networking cable built for everyday connectivity between routers, switches, computers, and other networked devices. It uses 24AWG stranded copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) configuration, which gives it the flexibility needed for short patch runs where cables may be repositioned or routed through tight spaces. With 350MHz bandwidth, it comfortably supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for standard home and office use.

The cable features RJ45 connectors with a snagless flexboot design, a small but important detail that prevents the locking tab from catching on other cables or surfaces when you pull it through bundles or remove it from a port. At just 0.17 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to manage. While Cat5e is an older standard compared to Cat6 or Cat6a, it remains perfectly adequate for the vast majority of home networking, office workstations, and general-purpose Ethernet connections where runs are short and interference is minimal.
