Ortronics MC5E03-09 Cat5e Patch Cord 3 Feet White

Product Description

The ORTRONICS MC5E03-09 is a Cat5e patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. At 3 feet in length, this white patch cord provides a short, clean connection between network equipment such as patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. Cat5e cabling supports data transmission at up to 1000 Mbps and is rated for 100 MHz bandwidth, making it a standard choice for Ethernet network runs. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers rely on patch cords like this one to terminate and connect horizontal cabling runs at distribution frames and equipment racks.

This patch cord is suited for light commercial office environments, data centers, server closets, and structured wiring installations where short equipment-to-panel connections are required. The 3-foot length is commonly used for patch panel to switch connections within a rack, minimizing cable clutter while maintaining a clean, organized installation. It is sold individually as a single unit.
