Rated to 100MHz, this 2m CAT5e lead carries Gigabit Ethernet at up to 100 metres. For everyday home and office networking that is all the speed you need.
The cable uses unscreened twisted pairs (U/UTP), which is all most homes and offices need. The PVC jacket is soft and flexible, easy to route around furniture and equipment. 26 AWG conductors keep the lead slimmer and more flexible than a 24 AWG cable. The plugs have moulded strain-relief boots for a firm, long-lasting joint.
A good length for the desk: wall socket to PC, router to games console, or a short hop between neighbouring racks. Choosing grey leads for one job (cameras, phones or uplinks, say) makes faults quicker to trace later.
