CAT5e Blade U/UTP 24AWG Patch Lead Blue 20m

Our CAT5e blade boot snagless patch leads are terminated with 2 x RJ45 connectors, using gold plated contacts to produce maximum reliability. Constructed and tested in accordance with EIA / TIA 568.

• Data speeds up to 1 Gigabit
• RoHS Compliant
• Snag-Proof, Kink Protection boots
• 24 AWG, twisted pair, 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Cable Type: UTP CAT5e

Each cable consists of 8 colour coded stranded 24AWG conductors twisted together to form 4 pairs with varying lay lengths. The soft PVC outer sheath coupled with the stranded conductors results in a highly flexible cable.

CAT5e cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. It was formally defined in 2001 as the TIA/EIA-568-B standard, which no longer recognises the original Cat 5 specification. Although 1000BASE-T was designed for use with Cat 5 cable, the tighter specifications associated with CAT5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T.

CAT5e cable performance characteristics and test methods are defined in TIA/EIA-568-B.2-2001.
