Cat5e Unshielded Network Patch Cord

The Cat5e unshielded network patch cord stands as a cornerstone in modern networking, designed to deliver consistent performance for both residential and small - business applications. Unlike shielded alternatives, it lacks additional metallic layers, which makes it more flexible, lightweight, and cost - effective—key advantages for environments where complex cabling setups are not required. This patch cord supports data transfer speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) at a maximum bandwidth of 100 MHz, making it ideal for connecting devices like desktop computers, printers, routers, and switches in home offices, classrooms, or small retail spaces.

One of the primary benefits of the unshielded design is its ease of installation. Without the added bulk of shielding, it can be easily routed through tight spaces, such as behind desks, inside walls, or through cable management systems, without sacrificing signal integrity in low - interference areas. The conductors inside are typically made of high - quality copper (often 24 - AWG), ensuring minimal signal loss and reliable transmission over distances of up to 100 meters, which meets the IEEE 802.3ab standard for Gigabit Ethernet.

Moreover, Cat5e unshielded patch cords are backward - compatible with older Cat5 cables, allowing users to upgrade their networks gradually without replacing existing infrastructure. They are also available in a wide range of lengths (from 0.5 meters to 30 meters) and colors, enabling easy organization and identification of different network segments. Whether used for streaming HD video, online gaming, or basic office file sharing, this patch cord provides a stable and affordable solution that balances performance and practicality. While it may not be suitable for high - interference industrial settings, its versatility and cost - efficiency make it a top choice for most everyday networking scenarios.
