The JBX60452 1ft Cat5e UTP non-booted ethernet cable is a versatile networking solution designed for professionals and tech-savvy users who demand reliable connectivity without compromise. This short-length patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in close proximity, managing cable runs in patch panels, or establishing temporary network connections. **Key Features & Specifications:** This cable utilizes advanced copper technology with conductors exceeding 99.95% oxygen-free copper purity, ensuring excellent conductivity and minimal signal degradation. The 24AWG gauge provides the optimal balance between flexibility and performance, while the 4.0mm outside diameter allows easy routing through standard cable trays and conduits. The non-booted design eliminates unnecessary bulk, making it perfect for densely populated patch panels and tight installation spaces where traditional booted cables would cause routing challenges. Unlike booted alternatives, this cable offers superior manageability while maintaining full protective capabilities through its riser-rated OFNR jacket. **Performance & Compliance:** Rated for 1GB data transmission speeds, the JBX60452 meets TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, ensuring compatibility with legacy and modern network infrastructure. The straight-through polarity configuration supports standard Ethernet applications and works seamlessly with RJ45 connectors on both ends. RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliance ensures environmental responsibility and adherence to international regulations. The cable's operating temperature range of -20°C to +75°C makes it suitable for server rooms, network closets, wall-mounted installations, and outdoor applications. **Applications & Use Cases:** Ideal for equipment connections, patch panel management, printer connections, VoIP phones, network switches, routers, and any short-run networking needs. The 1ft length is perfect for equipment-to-wall connections or device-to-switch installations. **Quality Assurance:** Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this cable represents a long-term investment in network reliability. Ships from multiple U.S. locations (California, Texas, South Carolina) with free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, ensuring fast delivery and minimal ordering friction. **Customization Available:** If the 1ft length doesn't match your exact requirements, custom lengths are available upon request, allowing you to optimize your network infrastructure perfectly.
