Comprehensive Connectivity CAT5-350-7BLK Cat5e Patch Cable

Product Description

The Comprehensive Connectivity Co. CAT5-350-7BLK is a Cat5e snagless patch cable rated at 350 MHz, designed for structured wiring and network infrastructure applications. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during installation and cable management, reducing the risk of connector damage in dense patch panel environments. At 7 feet in length, this cable suits rack-to-switch runs, workstation drops, and equipment interconnects where a medium-length patch is needed. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary users of this cable in both commercial and residential data installations.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-room cabling in Cat5e-rated network infrastructure. Typical installations include patch panel terminations, switch port connections, and desktop workstation runs. The 350 MHz rating supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications over standard Cat5e wiring. The black jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes common in structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for patch cable connections — simply seat the RJ-45 connector fully until the locking tab clicks. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors, in compliance with NEC Article 800 for communications wiring. Inspect the snagless boot and connector tab before installation to confirm no shipping damage occurred.
