Shop Cat 5e Ethernet patch cords for network switches, computers, patch panels, routers, IP equipment and other RJ45 network connections. Wallco offers Category 5e patch cables in multiple lengths, colors and connector-boot configurations.
Compare patch cords by length, color, snagless or standard connector design, conductor construction and installation requirements.
Category 5e patch cords provide finished RJ45 connections for computers, switches, routers, patch panels and other Ethernet equipment. They are widely used for equipment connections in offices, equipment rooms, structured cabling systems and service installations.
Cat 5e patch cables are available in short equipment-rack lengths as well as longer runs for connecting devices across work areas. Choose enough length for proper routing without creating unnecessary cable loops or congestion.
Standard RJ45 plugs provide a compact termination, while snagless boot designs help protect the connector latch during installation and removal. Connector style can be selected according to rack density, handling requirements and installation preference.
Multiple cable colors can help identify network functions, equipment groups, VLANs or individual circuits. Color coding is an organizational aid and does not change the electrical category rating of the cable.
Cat 5e patch cords are commonly used with compatible Ethernet network equipment and Category 5e structured cabling. The overall network channel should be designed around the required performance and all connected components.
Determine the required cable length and color, then choose a standard or snagless connector style. For specialized installations, also verify conductor construction, shielding requirements and equipment-port compatibility.
