Overview
- The Astrotek CAT5e 30m Ethernet Cable is a professional-grade network patch cord built for dependable data transmission in business and IT environments. With 26AWG stranded copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 connectors, it ensures reliable signal integrity over longer runs without signal degradation.
The snagless design is a practical feature that protects the locking clips on RJ45 connectors from being damaged during installation, reducing downtime and replacement costs. This is particularly valuable in busy network environments where cables are frequently installed, removed, or relocated.
Constructed as an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable, it meets CAT5e standards and is suitable for standard commercial network applications. The 30-metre length makes it ideal for backbone runs, server connections, and infrastructure builds where longer cable runs are necessary without the need for additional splicing or extension.

FAQs
What is the maximum distance for this CAT5e cable?
CAT5e cables are rated for up to 100 metres for standard network applications. This 30-metre cable is ideal for medium-distance runs such as server connections, patch panel cabling, and backbone infrastructure within office and data centre environments.
Is this cable suitable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) applications?
CAT5e cables can carry PoE, however for higher power PoE+ and PoE++ applications, CAT6 or CAT6a cables are recommended. Confirm your specific PoE power requirements with your equipment manufacturer.
What does the snagless design protect against?
The snagless design protects the locking clips (strain relief boots) on RJ45 connectors from being caught, bent, or snapped during installation or removal. This reduces connector damage and the need for replacements.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
This is an indoor-rated UTP cable with a standard PVC jacket. For outdoor or exposed applications, outdoor-rated or shielded cables with UV-resistant jackets are recommended.
Why is the cable blue rather than grey?
Colour coding in network installations helps with organisation and identification. Blue is a common choice for network cabling in commercial environments and makes cable management and troubleshooting easier.
What does gold-plated mean and why is it important?
Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and oxidation, which can degrade signal quality over time. This ensures consistent, reliable connectivity and longer cable lifespan, particularly important in high-uptime business environments.
