## Summary description

StarTech Cat5e Ethernet patch cable, 2 m length, U/UTP (UTP) wiring and snagless RJ‑45 connectors on both ends with gold‑plated contacts. Designed for 100 Mbit/s networks, this cable provides a reliable unshielded twisted‑pair connection for patch panels, switches, routers and desktop devices in home or office LAN installations.

## Long description

StarTech Cat5e Ethernet patch cable, 2 m length, U/UTP wiring and snagless RJ‑45 connectors with gold‑plated contacts. Designed for Fast Ethernet and compatible with Power-over-Ethernet, this unshielded twisted‑pair cable provides a reliable connection between patch panels, switches, routers and desktop devices in home or office LAN installations. The 2 m white PVC jacket enables simple cable identification and routing in patch bays and network closets.
Advantages
The cable uses 24 AWG pure copper conductors to ensure consistent signal transmission and support for higher current delivery required by PoE devices. Gold‑plated contacts with a 50‑micron finish improve conductivity and resist oxidation for long-term contact reliability. A snagless RJ‑45 design protects the connector latch from damage during installation, while molded PVC strain relief reduces stress at the termination points to help prevent cable failure.
Suitable for
 Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in small office and home networks
 Linking desktop PCs, IP phones and networked printers
 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices such as access points and cameras
 Temporary or permanent patch cable runs in network racks and patch bays
Key specifications
 Category: Cat5e (meets or exceeds Cat5e specifications)
 Length: 2 m
 Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
 Conductor: 24 AWG solid pure copper
 Connector type: RJ‑45 snagless on both ends
 Contact plating: 50‑micron gold plated contacts
 Jacket material and color: PVC, white
 Intended speed: Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) with support for PoE
How to use
Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use the 2 m length to connect devices within workstations, patch panels and network switches. Route the cable so it avoids sharp bends and excessive tension; the molded strain relief reduces stress at termination points but proper routing and bend radius will extend cable life. For PoE devices, ensure connected equipment supports the required PoE standard and power budget.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid running unshielded cables alongside high‑voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. Label both ends when installing multiple patch cords in a rack and maintain gentle bend radii near connectors. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
