The StarTech.com 45PATCH10BK is a 10-foot black Cat5e snagless unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for establishing Fast Ethernet network connections. It addresses common cable management and durability concerns through its design. The snagless feature protects RJ45 connector clips during installation, reducing potential damage and snags. Molded PVC strain relief prevents sharp bends at termination points, which helps maintain network performance and extends cable life. Constructed with 24 AWG copper conductors and 50-micron gold connectors, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications and aims to minimize signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion. The black PVC jacket allows for color-coding network infrastructure, aiding in organization and troubleshooting.

To ensure long-lasting performance, this high quality Cat5e patch cable features a snagless design that protects the RJ45 connector clips from damage and makes the cable less prone to snagging during installation. The cable also features molded PVC strain relief that prevents the RJ45 connector termination points from bending at sharp angles - reducing the risk of cable damage, which could decrease network performance.
StarTech.com Cat5e cables are manufactured using high-quality copper conductors. While many cable manufacturers offer a ""cheaper"" cable, based on a copper-coated aluminum core, we make no compromises on quality to ensure you receive top value and performance for your network cable investment.
This Cat 5e cable is constructed with 24 gauge copper wire, to support a broad range of Ethernet applications such as Power over Ethernet (PoE). Because we use a high quality copper wire, our cables easily sustain the power required for Power over Ethernet applications, whereas the inferior quality offered by copper-coated aluminum cables may be subject to insufficient power delivery, heat buildup, equipment damage and potentially, fire.
