C5E-BL-05-M CAT5 Snagless Patch Cable

5FT Cat5E Patch Cable Built for Fast, Reliable Network Connections
The CP Tech C5E-BL-05-M is a 5-foot Cat5E Ethernet patch cable designed to support high-speed data transfer in home, office, and commercial network environments. Rated for 350MHz, this cable is ideal for connecting desktop PCs, switches, routers, VoIP phones, and access points. Its short length makes it perfect for tight patch panel runs or device-to-device linking without excess slack.

Pure Copper Conductors Provide Superior Performance
Made with 24 AWG stranded bare copper across all four pairs, this patch cord delivers consistent signal quality and stable data transmission. The use of full copper ensures minimal resistance and loss, which is crucial for performance in gigabit Ethernet applications and environments with multiple concurrent connections.

Snag-Free Slim Boot Design Simplifies Installation
Slim molded boots provide flexibility and protect the RJ-45 latch from damage during frequent handling or tight installations. These snag-free boots allow the cable to slide easily through dense cable management systems, making them ideal for racks, patch panels, and behind-wall setups where space is at a premium.

Cat5E and Cat6E Cross-Compatible for Mixed Network Infrastructure
While rated for Cat5E performance up to 350MHz, this patch cable is also tested to support Cat6E environments up to 550MHz. This makes it a versatile choice for technicians and installers working across different network types, helping reduce cable stock and simplify inventory.

UL-Listed Jacket Ensures Safety in Commercial Use
The unshielded cable features a soft yet durable jacket that meets UL standards for safety and flame resistance. It’s flexible enough to handle bends and curves in complex installations while maintaining long-term durability. The jacket’s material is well suited for both open-air and in-wall pathways where CM-rated compliance is necessary.

Color Coding and Length Make Network Organization Easy
Finished in blue for easy visual identification, this 5FT cable also includes length labeling on each end. This makes it simple to match cables during system layouts or when managing cable bundles in network rooms. Retail packaging includes a perforated tear-off top, ideal for installers or resale.
