Wirepath WP-PC-CAT5E-5FT-WHT Cat5e Patch Cable 5ft

Product Description

The WIREPATH WP-PC-CAT5E-5FT-WHT is a Cat5e patch cable in white finish, measuring 5 feet in length. It is designed for structured wiring applications where a short, reliable Ethernet connection is needed between network equipment. Cat5e cabling supports data transmission at up to 1000 Mbps and is rated to reduce crosstalk compared to earlier Cat5 standards. This cable is suited for connecting switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks in both residential and light commercial network installations. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the typical trades working with this cable type.

This patch cable is well suited to tight-run, short-distance Ethernet connections in structured wiring panels, server closets, AV equipment racks, and home network installations. Its 5-foot length makes it practical for equipment-to-panel or device-to-switch runs where cable management and minimal slack are priorities. The white jacket blends cleanly into finished interior environments.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports Gigabit Ethernet data rates
• 5-foot length suits short equipment-to-switch or panel-to-device runs
• White jacket finish for clean presentation in finished spaces
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable compatible with RJ45 network ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks conforming to Cat5e wiring standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network installers. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable run, as excessive bending can degrade signal performance. Route cables away from high-voltage electrical lines to minimize interference, in accordance with NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines. Ensure RJ45 connectors are fully seated at both ends before testing the link.
