The CAT5e cables allow for convenient and reliable connection of a single network device, such as a switch, modem, or router, to another device or throughout the infrastructure via a patch panel, keystone jack, or wall. This cable is often used in small offices, home networks, and entertainment applications.

These cables have been tested up to 100 MHz (standard CAT5 category) and are compatible with CAT5 cables. They are manufactured with a protective shield that prevents damage to the connector during installation in tight spaces.
