The JBX60398 6ft Cat5e UTP Non-Booted Ethernet Cable in purple represents a reliable solution for network professionals and tech enthusiasts seeking quality connectivity components. With its distinctive purple color, this cable adds both functionality and visual organization to any networking setup. **Technical Specifications:** This Cat5e ethernet cable exceeds TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, delivering up to 1GB data transmission speeds suitable for modern networking demands. The cable features 24AWG gauge copper conductors with exceptional purity (>99.95% oxygen-free copper), ensuring optimal signal integrity and minimal signal loss. At 4.0mm outside diameter, the non-booted design provides superior flexibility, allowing installation through conduit, around tight corners, and into space-constrained patch panels without bulky boot connectors. **Construction & Materials:** The riser-rated OFNR jacketing (flame-retardant polymer) provides reliable protection and meets stringent building code requirements for indoor installations. RJ45 connectors on both ends enable straight-through connections with standard network equipment. UTP (unshielded twisted pair) configuration works perfectly for most office and home network applications where EMI interference is minimal. **Performance & Reliability:** Designed to operate across a wide temperature range (-20°C to +75°C/-4°F to +167°F), this cable maintains consistent performance in various environments. The superior conductor composition and proper twist ratio minimize crosstalk and attenuation, ensuring stable connections for network switches, routers, computers, and other ethernet devices. **Compliance & Warranty:** Fully compliant with RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC, this cable meets environmental and safety standards worldwide. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, protecting your investment. Available in custom lengths for specialized installations, with fast shipping from multiple US distribution centers. **Applications:** Ideal for home office setups, data centers, network patches, patch panel installations, and any situation requiring reliable ethernet connectivity without the bulk of booted connectors. Perfect for color-coded network organization systems.
