Comprehensive Connectivty Co. CAT5-350-14BLK Cat5e Patch Cable

Product Description

The COMPREHENSIVE CONNECTIVTY CO. CAT5-350-14BLK is a Cat5e snagless patch cable rated at 350 MHz. It is designed to carry network data signals between switches, routers, patch panels, and networked devices in structured cabling installations. The snagless boot protects the RJ-45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing the chance of connector damage in dense cable environments. At 14 feet in length, it suits runs between wall jacks and workstations or between rack-mounted equipment and nearby devices. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the typical installers in both commercial and residential network infrastructure.

This patch cable is used in Ethernet network installations where Cat5e performance at up to 350 MHz is required. Typical applications include horizontal runs from patch panels to active equipment, desktop workstation connections, and temporary or permanent links between network devices. It is well suited for office, light commercial, and residential structured wiring projects where a pre-terminated, ready-to-install cable saves field termination time.

Key Features

• Cat5e construction rated to 350 MHz for standard Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 locking tab during installation and removal
• 14-foot length provides reach for rack-to-device or wall jack-to-workstation connections
• Black jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices
• Pre-terminated with RJ-45 connectors for immediate deployment without field termination

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ-45 ports on Ethernet switches, routers, network interface cards, patch panels, and wall jacks following TIA-568 wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and electricians install Cat5e patch cables as part of structured cabling systems governed by TIA-568 standards and local codes. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not bundle or zip-tie cables so tightly that the jacket deforms, as either condition can degrade signal performance. No power shutdown is required for patching, but confirm the port is not carrying active PoE power to sensitive equipment before disconnecting. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit runs to minimize electromagnetic interference.
