Cat 5e Cable is used in network applications such as 10Base-T, 100Base-T, 1000Base-T Ethernet technology to 100 meters (328 feet), and have been designed specifically for Gigabit Ethernet applications (Gigabit over copper). They perform at high-data transfer rates, and work with ATM and gigabit speed products. These cables deliver improved performance over standard Cat5 cables.
This is the newest fully-approved system-standard Cat 5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable. Cat 5e (the "e" stands for "enhanced") is completely backward-compatible with current Cat5 equipment. This Cat 5e Cable is composed of 4 pairs 24 AWG stranded conductors with PVC jackets. Conductors are wired to gold plated RJ45 plugs in accordance with the TIA/EIA 568B standard (Telephone Industry Association/Electronics Industry Association.) Available in 3 colors. Boots match cable color.
Used to connect your network card to a 10/100/1000Base-T hub or switch. Category 5e UTP cable wired straight through. 24 AWG, gold plated 8x8 (RJ45) plugs. Patch cables & boots are the same color; boots are snagless. Patch cables have stranded copper conductors for flexibility - great for frequent changes that occur at the wall outlet or patch panel.
