Cat 5e Ethernet Cable 200ft - Solid Copper 24 AWG, EZ RJ45 Pass Thru

Our review of this Cat 5e Ethernet Cable 200ft focuses on installers, home network builders, and small businesses that need a long, dependable run of wired network. The biggest reason to buy is simple: a full 200ft length of UL ETL listed, solid 24 AWG copper core cable with EZ pass through RJ45 connectors delivers predictable gigabit-capable performance and easy terminations without relying on wireless links. For anyone wiring a basement, attic, office, or media rack, this cable provides a robust, made-in-USA assembled option that keeps signals clean for high-speed LAN traffic.

Key Features

• 200ft Length: One continuous 200ft run reduces the need for joints or couplers when wiring long runs between rooms or across larger spaces.
• Solid 24 AWG Copper: Solid bare copper conductors preserve signal integrity for consistent performance on long runs versus cheaper copper-clad alternatives.
• CAT-5E Performance: Designed to perform up to 350MHz, this Cat-5e cable supports typical gigabit networking and high-definition streaming needs.
• EZ Pass Thru RJ45 Connectors: Pass-through connectors with gold-plated contacts simplify termination and provide a durable, secure connection.
• UL ETL Listed and EIA/TIA-568B Compliant: The cable is UL ETL rated and follows common wiring standards for predictable installation and compatibility.
• Assembled in USA: Cables are custom cut and assembled in the United States, which can be useful when sourcing domestically assembled components.

Who It's For

This cable is well suited for IT technicians, AV installers, and homeowners who prefer wired connections for stable, low-latency internet and media streaming. It works with routers, switches, VoIP phones, PoE devices, satellite receivers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles where a single long run is required.

It is not aimed at outdoor buried installations or environments that require shielded cable; those needing outdoor-rated or shielded runs should look for cables specified for direct burial or STP variants. Casual users who only need short connections under 10ft may find shorter, cheaper patch cables more convenient.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid 24 AWG copper ensures better long-run signal integrity compared with copper-clad alternatives.
• EZ pass through RJ45 connectors make terminations straightforward and reliable for DIY or pro installers.
• UL ETL listing and EIA/TIA compliance provide confidence in consistent manufacturing and wiring standards.

Cons

• Cat-5e is capable for gigabit but lacks future-proofing of Cat6 or higher when aiming for multi-gig speeds over longer distances.
