CAT5e-PATCH-CORD Category Jumper Connection Cable

CAT5e patch cords are twisted pair cables that meet the Cat5e standard, which specifies the performance requirements for twisted pair cables used in Ethernet networks. These cables are capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second over distances of up to 100 meters. They have four twisted pairs of copper wires that are wrapped in a flexible sheath, which provides protection from physical damage and interference from other electrical signals.

The RJ45 connector is the most common type of connector used on CAT5e patch cords. This connector has eight pins that correspond to the eight wires in the cable. The pins are arranged in a specific order that allows them to mate with the pins on the other end of the cable. The RJ45 connector is easy to use and is compatible with most Ethernet devices.

CAT5e patch cords come in different lengths, ranging from a few inches to several feet. The color-coding system can help network administrators to quickly identify and troubleshoot network issues.

CAT5e patch cords are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. They do not require any special tools or equipment, and they can be plugged and unplugged multiple times without any significant degradation in performance. They are also backward compatible with older Ethernet standards, such as Cat3 and Cat5.
