Cat5e Ethernet Cable 400ft White - Solid Copper, EZ RJ45 Pass Thru

In this review of the Cat5e Ethernet Cable 400ft White the bottom line is straightforward: this cable is for installers and home network owners who need a long, reliable run of wired connectivity that preserves gigabit performance. The reviewer found the solid 24AWG copper conductors and UL ETL/EIA-TIA compliance are the single biggest reasons to choose it, because they sustain consistent data throughput and reduce signal loss over long lengths. If you want dependable wired LAN links for streaming, VoIP or PoE, this is a practical, no-frills choice assembled in the USA.

Key Features

• Solid 24AWG Copper: Solid bare copper conductors keep impedance stable for consistent gigabit-level performance on long runs.
• Category 5e Performance: Rated up to 350MHz, the cable supports high-speed LAN tasks like HD streaming and video surveillance without frequent dropouts.
• EZ Pass Thru RJ45: Pass-through connectors speed up terminations and help ensure all eight conductors seat correctly for reliable connectivity.
• Strain Relief Boots: Booted connectors protect the plug junction during pulls and prevent damage in tight cable paths.
• UL ETL & EIA/TIA Compliance: Safety and wiring standard listings mean predictable installation behavior and easier troubleshooting.
• Made in USA Assembly: Assembled domestically from foreign and domestic parts, which can simplify sourcing and quality expectations.

Who It's For

The cable is aimed at network installers, integrators and savvy homeowners who need long uninterrupted runs for switches, routers, VoIP phones and PoE devices. Its solid 24AWG conductor makes it better suited to fixed in-wall or trunked runs rather than frequent flexing or patch-cord use.

Casual users who only need short, flexible patch cables or want shielded cable for high-interference environments should look elsewhere. Also, if your build requires Cat6 or higher bandwidth headroom for futureproofing, choose a higher-category cable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid copper 24AWG conductor delivers stable signal integrity for long runs.
• EZ pass-through RJ45 connectors and strain relief boots simplify termination and increase durability.
• UL ETL listing and EIA/TIA-568 compliance provide predictable installation standards.

Cons

• As a solid conductor cable it is not ideal for repeated flexing as a patch lead.
• Cat5e performance is adequate for gigabit but lacks headroom compared with Cat6 for future higher-bandwidth needs.

Our Verdict

The Cat5e Ethernet Cable 400ft White is a solid, practical choice for anyone installing long LAN runs who values stable copper conductors and reliable terminations. It represents good value when you need UL ETL listing and EIA/TIA compliance without paying for higher-category cable, but those seeking repeated flexibility or extra bandwidth should consider alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable suitable for PoE devices?
Yes. The solid 24AWG copper conductors support Power over Ethernet for typical PoE and PoE+ devices across network runs.

Can I use it as a patch cable between devices?
It can be used, but because it is solid conductor it is better for fixed runs; stranded patch cables are better for frequent movement.

Where is the cable assembled?
The cable is assembled in the USA from foreign and domestic parts by PHAT SATELLITE INTL.
