RJ45 Patch Cable RS Pro, Cat5e, UTP LSZH. Round Cat 5e 100 Ω UTP patch cable with a 4-pair construction in AWG 26, featuring low-smoke, halogen-free insulation (LSZH) and equipped with molded RJ45 connectors on each end. These Cat 5e patch cables are available in various colors and cable lengths. RS Pro's Category 5e cables are designed for excellent performance in high-speed networking applications. This Cat5e cable from RS Pro supports horizontal networking applications over longer distances of up to 100 meters.

Why choose Cat5e over Cat5 cables? Cat5 and Cat5e are practically identical and cannot be distinguished by strength, color, or material. Cat5e cables often have a more durable cable jacket, making them better suited for use over many years compared to Cat5 cables. Within the cable jacket, the wires are often twisted more tightly, making them less susceptible to crosstalk. Cat5e cables support networks operating at speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second, making them ideal for IT applications where fast data transfer is crucial. Additionally, Cat5e cables have a higher bandwidth of 350 MHz, allowing them to transmit significantly more information from one system to another than Cat5 cables.

What is crosstalk? Crosstalk is the electromagnetic interference between two cables that are closely positioned together. This interference can lead to errors in data transmission.
