## Summary description

StarTech Cat5e patch cable, 3 m length, U/UTP (unshielded) Cat5e standard for up to 100 Mbit/s Ethernet connections. Fitted with snagless RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold‑plated contacts for reliable signal contact. Suitable for network patch panels, switches, routers and workstations in office and home networking setups.

## Long description

The StarTech Patch Cable Cat5e 3 m U/UTP in white is a high-quality unshielded Ethernet patch cord designed for Fast Ethernet networks and Power-over-Ethernet applications. At 3 meters long, the cable meets Cat5e standards for up to 100 Mbit/s connections and is fitted with snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce the risk of connector damage during installation. The cable's white PVC jacket allows for simple color coding in office or home network environments.
Advantages
This Cat5e patch cable is constructed with 24 AWG copper conductors to support stable data transmission and PoE power delivery. The molded PVC strain relief reduces stress at the connector termination to help prevent cable failure from bending, and the snagless connector design protects the RJ45 clip from catching or breaking while routing or unplugging. Gold-plated contacts help maintain low contact resistance and resist oxidation for long-term signal integrity.
Suitable for
Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or home networks
Linking workstations and networked devices to Ethernet ports
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) enabled devices such as IP phones, wireless access points and cameras
Key specifications
Cable category: Cat5e U/UTP (unshielded)
Length: 3 m
Conductor material and size: 24 AWG copper
Connector type: RJ45 with snagless boot
Contact plating: gold-plated contacts (50 microinches typical plating thickness as industry practice)
Jacket material and color: PVC jacket in white
Supported speed: up to 100 Mbit/s (Fast Ethernet)
How to use
Route the Cat5e patch cable between network devices, ensuring the RJ45 connectors are fully inserted into the Ethernet ports until they click. Use the snagless boots to protect the connector tabs when pulling the cable through racks or cable channels. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and allow the molded strain relief to absorb any stress; this will help maintain signal quality and extend cable life. For PoE devices, connect the cable between a PoE-capable switch or injector and the powered device following the equipment manufacturer's instructions.
Usage recommendations
For reliable network performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius to a minimum recommended by industry standards. Use color-coded cables for easier identification in patch panels and racks, and inspect connectors periodically for secure seating and signs of wear.
