CP Tech C5E-BL-08-M 8FT Cat5E Ethernet Patch Cable

8FT Cat5E Ethernet Patch Cable for Clean and Reliable Networking
The CP Tech C5E-BL-08-M is an 8-foot Cat5E patch cable engineered for stable, high-speed Ethernet connections in structured cabling systems. Built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and rated for up to 350MHz, this cable supports Gigabit Ethernet while maintaining signal clarity and low interference. Whether you're wiring patch panels, routers, switches, or end-user devices, this cable offers the reliability and flexibility needed for both commercial and residential networking.

Constructed with Pure Copper for Optimal Signal Transfer
This cable uses 100% bare copper in all four twisted pairs, ensuring maximum conductivity and reduced resistance over the cable’s full length. Compared to copper-clad alternatives, pure copper maintains signal integrity over longer distances and ensures full compliance with TIA/EIA standards. It’s ideal for demanding environments where consistent performance is essential.

Snag-Free Slim Boot Design Simplifies Routing
The slim molded claw boots are designed to protect the RJ45 clip while allowing for tight turns and easy cable routing through dense patch fields or raceways. These snag-free boots make it easy to pull cables through confined spaces without damaging the latch or jacket, helping reduce wear and improving long-term durability in high-use environments.

Compatible with Cat5E and Tested for Cat6E Applications
While optimized for Cat5E applications at 350MHz, this cable has been tested to support Cat6E performance levels up to 550MHz. That means it’s capable of handling higher-speed applications in networks that may mix legacy and modern infrastructure. This forward-compatible design reduces inventory complexity and ensures flexibility in the field.

Gold-Plated Contacts Provide Lasting Connection Stability
The RJ45 modular connectors are built with 50-micron gold-plated contacts, providing excellent resistance to corrosion while ensuring consistent electrical contact. These gold-plated pins support clear signal transmission and longer connector life—particularly useful in patch bays and switchboards where repeated insertions are common.

UL Certified and Factory-Tested for Trusted Installations
This patch cable features a CM-rated PVC jacket that meets UL flame safety standards, making it suitable for use in office spaces, commercial buildings, and residential installs. It’s produced in an ISO 9001-registered facility and individually tested for performance and consistency. Each cable includes length labels on both ends and comes in retail-ready packaging with a tear-away top.
