Ortronics EZC5E09Q40-08 Cat5e Patch Cord 9ft Gray 40pk

Product Description

The ORTRONICS EZC5E09Q40-08 is a Category 5e patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and enterprise network environments. Each cord in this 40-piece pack measures 9 feet in length and is finished in gray for easy identification and cable management. Cat5e patch cords support data transmission up to 1 Gbps and are a standard component in horizontal cabling runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment connections. Network technicians and low-voltage installers rely on these cords for consistent, high-density deployments where bulk quantities are needed.

This 40-pack is suited for large-scale installations in commercial office spaces, data centers, telecommunications rooms, and similar environments where structured cabling systems require a high volume of uniform patch cords. The 9-foot length provides enough slack for routing from patch panels to active equipment in standard rack and wall-mount configurations. The gray jacket color supports common color-coding schemes used in network infrastructure management.

Key Features

• Category 5e rated for data transmission up to 1 Gbps in structured cabling applications
• 9-foot length suits typical rack-to-panel and panel-to-switch connections
• Gray jacket supports standard color-coded cable management practices
• Sold in a 40-piece pack for high-volume or bulk installation projects
• EZPatch design for consistent, repeatable termination performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use Cat5e patch cord compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 structured cabling systems using 8P8C modular connectors.

Installation Notes

Cat5e patch cords are typically installed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Deactivate or power down connected active equipment before replacing patch cords on live patch panels where possible. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not route alongside high-voltage electrical conductors. Verify jack and panel compatibility before installation to ensure proper seating of the modular connectors.
