Monoprice 114262 Cat5e 25ft Ethernet Patch Cable Black

The Monoprice 114262 Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable is a 25-foot networking cable built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors in an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) configuration. Rated at 350 MHz bandwidth, it comfortably handles Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) connections for home networks, office workstations, gaming consoles, streaming devices, and NAS setups. The stranded conductor design gives the cable the flexibility needed for desktop patch runs, where the cable may be coiled, bent around furniture, or repositioned frequently.

Both ends terminate in snagless RJ45 connectors with molded strain-relief boots that protect the locking clips from breaking during insertion and removal. This is a practical detail that extends the cable's working life, especially in setups where cables are swapped or rerouted regularly. At 25 feet, the cable covers the distance between most desks and network switches or wall outlets without excess slack, keeping cable management clean. Backed by Monoprice's reputation for affordable networking accessories, it is a straightforward choice for anyone who needs a reliable wired connection without overspending.
