FAQs

What is the length and category type of this ethernet cable?
This is a 5-foot (5ft) Category 5e (Cat5e) ethernet cable. It's designed as a network patch cable, making it ideal for shorter-distance connections between network devices.
What type of shielding does this cable have and why is it important?
This cable features F/UTP (Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair) shielding with an overall cable shield. This shielding is crucial as it provides protection against EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio Frequency Interference), making it ideal for use in noisy environments where signal integrity is essential.
What are the connector types on this cable?
The cable has RJ-45 male connectors on both ends (1 x RJ-45 male connector on each end). These are standard ethernet connectors that ensure universal compatibility with common networking equipment.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of networking devices including network adapters, hubs, switches, routers, DSL/cable modems, and patch panels. It works with any device that uses standard RJ-45 ethernet connections.
What networking standards does this cable support?
The cable supports multiple networking standards including 1000 BASE-T, 100 BASE-T, 10 BASE-T (IEEE 802.3), 4/16 Mbps Token Ring (IEEE 802.5), 100 VG-AnyLAN, 100 Mbps TP-PMD, 55/155 Mbps ATM, and Voice applications.
