## Long description

The StarTech.com Cat5e Ethernet Cable (0.5 m, Red) is a U/UTP patch cable with RJ45 connectors designed for short-distance network connections in server closets, patch panels and between switches and servers. It supports Fast Ethernet (10/100Base-TX) data rates and is constructed with 24 AWG copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission and reduced oxidation. The cable includes snagless RJ45 clips and moulded strain-relief boots for durable installations.
Advantages
This Cat5e cable provides reliable Fast Ethernet performance with 24 AWG copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the clip during installation, while moulded boots reduce strain at the termination point. The red jacket and 0.5 m length make it suitable for tidy, color-coded short runs in racks and patch panels.
Suitable for
Point-to-point in-rack and across-rack connections
Patch panels and server closet cabling
Connecting switches, hubs and servers over short distances
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices supporting Fast Ethernet

How to use
Connect one RJ45 end to the Ethernet port of your switch, hub or server and the other end to the device or patch panel port. Ensure the snug clip engages to secure the connector. Route the cable through the rack or tray without sharp bends to avoid damaging the internal conductors. The 0.5 m length is intended for short runs; if a longer reach is required, select an appropriate length from the product range.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, avoid exposing the cable to excessive heat or moisture, and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use color-coded lengths to organize rack connections and reserve this Cat5e cable for Fast Ethernet and PoE devices rather than Gigabit links where higher category cabling (Cat5e/6 certified for Gigabit) is required.
