C2G 100ft Cat5e Unshielded Ethernet Patch Cable (Black)

Overview

The C2G 26972 is a 100 foot Cat5e unshielded Ethernet patch cable designed to provide reliable network connectivity over longer distances without the need for splicing shorter cables. It supports data, voice, and video transmission with minimal interference, making it suitable for home offices, conference rooms, warehouses, and structured wiring installations. The cable features 24 AWG copper conductors and meets Cat5e TIA/EIA standards, ensuring stable Gigabit Ethernet performance across its full length.

Key features

• Unshielded twisted pair design reduces crosstalk and interference in busy wiring environments
• 24 AWG copper conductors maintain signal strength and minimize impedance for clean data transmission
• Standard RJ-45 connectors on both ends allow easy connection to routers, switches, patch panels, and network adapters
• CMG in-wall rated jacket permits safe and permanent installation behind drywall or inside conduit
• Black outer jacket blends with rack equipment and simplifies cable management through color coding
• 100 foot length eliminates the need for couplers when connecting devices across rooms or ceilings
