Signamax c5e-114or-5fb Cat5e Patch Cord Orange

Product Description

The SIGNAMAX c5e-114or-5fb is a Category 5e patch cord designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built with a snag-proof boot, the connector latch is protected during cable routing and removal, reducing the risk of damage to the tab that maintains a secure connection at the port. This patch cord carries Ethernet data signals between network devices and patch panels, switches, and wall jacks. It is finished in orange for easy cable identification and color-coded circuit management in high-density installations.

This patch cord is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and general office network deployments. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use it to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and end-user devices. The orange jacket aids in quick visual identification of specific circuits or network segments, which is a common practice in structured cabling environments following ANSI/TIA standards.

Key Features

• Category 5e rated for 100 MHz bandwidth and Gigabit Ethernet support
• Snag-proof boot protects the RJ45 latch during installation and removal
• Orange jacket for color-coded cable management and circuit identification
• Pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play deployment
• Also referenced by alternate part numbers SMX-C5E114OR5FB and C5E114OR5FB

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use patch cord compatible with Category 5e and Category 6 RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians and network cabling professionals following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Disconnect or power down any sensitive equipment before disturbing active patch connections in live environments. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain signal integrity. Do not force the connector into a port; the snag-proof boot requires a slight inward press before extraction to release properly.
