Monoprice 113091 Cat5e 0.5ft Ethernet Cable Gray

The Monoprice 113091 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable is a 0.5-foot (6-inch) network cable designed for short-distance connections where minimizing cable slack and clutter is a priority. Built with 24AWG stranded pure bare copper wire, it provides reliable signal integrity that outperforms cheaper copper-clad aluminum cables, which can degrade over time and introduce higher resistance. The stranded construction also gives the cable more flexibility than solid-core alternatives, making it easier to manage in cramped networking environments.

Featuring Monoprice's Zeroboot slim connector design with standard RJ45 plugs, this cable slides easily into tightly packed patch panels and switches where bulky boot covers would get in the way. It supports Cat5e performance up to 1 Gbps, which covers the needs of the vast majority of standard office and home networking scenarios. At this ultra-short length, signal loss is essentially a non-factor. This cable is purpose-built for data center racks, networking closets, and any scenario where two devices sit inches apart — it is not intended for general-purpose runs across a room or between rooms.
