A pack of 100 identical 3m grey CAT5e patch leads, 3m each, for fitting out a cabinet, an office floor or a batch of installs in one go.
Each one is a CAT5e lead with an RJ45 plug at both ends, rated to 100MHz for Gigabit Ethernet at up to 100 metres.
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. Using 26 AWG copper makes it a little thinner and easier to dress neatly than heavier-gauge leads. Moulded boots support the cable where it meets the plug, reducing strain on the conductors.
Choosing grey leads for one job (cameras, phones or uplinks, say) makes faults quicker to trace later.
