The JBX60490 8ft Cat5e UTP Non-Booted Ethernet Network Cable is a professional-grade networking solution engineered for reliability and performance. This yellow-jacketed cable combines premium materials with robust construction to deliver dependable network connectivity for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. **Superior Construction & Materials:** Featuring conductors composed of more than 99.95% oxygen-free copper, this cable minimizes resistance and signal degradation. The U/UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) configuration reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The 24AWG gauge provides an optimal balance between durability and flexibility, while the 4.0mm outer diameter accommodates standard cable management systems. **Technical Specifications:** Certified to TIA/EIA Category 5e standards, the cable supports data transmission rates up to 1GB, meeting the requirements of most modern networking environments. With RJ45-to-RJ45 connectors and straight-through polarity configuration, installation is straightforward and compatible with standard network equipment. The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets fire safety requirements, making it suitable for in-wall installations and vertical cable runs. **Design Advantages:** The non-booted design eliminates the molded connector boots, resulting in a compact profile ideal for dense patch panel installations and tight cable management spaces. This design flexibility makes it perfect for crowded network cabinets, server rooms, and installations where connector size matters. The bright yellow color aids in identification and organization within complex network infrastructures. **Compliance & Reliability:** Fully RoHS and EU directive 2002/95/EC compliant, ensuring environmental responsibility and regulatory adherence. The cable operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -20 to +75°C (-4 to 167°F), performing consistently in climate-controlled data centers and varied environmental conditions. Every cable includes a lifetime limited warranty, demonstrating manufacturer confidence in product quality. **Applications:** Ideal for connecting computers, printers, routers, switches, and other network devices. Perfect for IT professionals, system integrators, and network technicians requiring bulk cable solutions. Available in custom lengths for specialized installations beyond the standard 8ft length. **Shipping & Availability:** Qualifies for free standard shipping on orders exceeding $99, with rapid fulfillment from multiple distribution centers including Danville CA, Fort Worth TX, and Beaufort SC.
