C2G 100ft Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable Unshielded (Gray)

Overview

The C2G 24702 is a 100-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable network connectivity for a variety of setups. It features unshielded twisted pair construction with 24 AWG copper conductors, ensuring clear transmission of voice, data, and video signals. The cable’s in wall rated PVC jacket makes it suitable for permanent installations behind drywall or above drop ceilings, while the bonded pairs maintain twist spacing to reduce interference and preserve signal quality.

Key features

• Unshielded twisted pair design reduces near end crosstalk while maintaining flexibility for easy routing.
• Bonded pairs keep consistent twist spacing, which helps maintain low impedance and limits return loss for better signal integrity.
• RJ-45 male connectors on both ends allow for straightforward plug and play installation without the need for crimping or special tools.
• In wall rated PVC jacket provides durability and safety for concealed or permanent cable runs in residential, office, or light industrial environments.
• Gray jacket color helps identify the cable easily within crowded bundles or wiring closets.
• Meets Cat5e TIA/EIA performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds for fast and stable network connections.
