Kxable Cat5e Ethernet Cable 100 FT

Bottom line: The Kxable Cat5e Ethernet Cable 100 FT: 100 ft length covers whole-house runs without a coupler or second cable; main trade-off: copper-clad aluminum conductors, not solid copper, so DC resistance runs higher.

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 100 ft length covers whole-house runs without a coupler or second cable
  • ✓ Rated to 1.0 Gbps over 350 MHz bandwidth, above baseline Cat5
  • ✓ Snagless molded boots stop clip breakage on wall-plate pulls
  • ✓ 15 cable ties included for managing a 100 ft run

Cons

  • ✗ Copper-clad aluminum conductors, not solid copper, so DC resistance runs higher
  • ✗ Unshielded (UTP) design offers no foil protection near motors or fluorescents
  • ✗ Cat5e caps at 1 Gbps, so it will not carry 2.5G or 10G upgrades
  • ✗ Solid-core wire is stiffer than stranded and resists tight bends

Manufacturer description

The Kxable Cat5e Ethernet Cable gives you a 100-foot run of black snagless patch cord for the jobs where a 25-foot cable leaves you short: wiring a PoE camera to a switch across the house, dropping a hardline to a PS5 in the basement, or trunking a server to a router two rooms over. It carries data at up to 1.0 Gbps on 350 MHz of bandwidth, which is well beyond the Cat5 spec it replaces and backward compatible with gear you already own. Construction is 24AWG copper-clad aluminum across four unshielded twisted pairs, with a PE cross filler separating the pairs to cut crosstalk, and 8P8C RJ45…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Kxable Cat5e Ethernet Cable 100 FT using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the retro networking cards category. Kxable's retro networking cards lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for retro networking cards of this kind: matching it to an existing build, replacing a failing part, or upgrading from a previous-generation equivalent. Check the spec table below against your current setup — particularly socket / form-factor / power-rating fields — and confirm compatibility on the retailer's listing before purchase. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 100 feet too long for an Ethernet cable to work reliably?

No. The Cat5e standard supports runs up to 328 feet (100 meters), so a 100 ft cable is well inside spec for the rated 1.0 Gbps.

Will this work with my PS5?

Yes. Kxable lists PS5 among the supported devices, along with PCs, servers, printers, routers, switches, VoIP phones, and PoE camera systems, using the standard RJ45 connector.

Does this cable support PoE for security cameras?

Kxable lists PoE camera systems as compatible. Note the conductors are 24AWG copper-clad aluminum rather than solid copper, so confirm your PoE budget for a run this long with your injector or switch.

Is this fast enough for gigabit internet?

Yes. It is rated for data transfer up to 1.0 Gbps with 350 MHz of bandwidth. It will not exceed gigabit, so plan differently if you intend to move to 2.5G or 10G networking.

What does snagless mean, and is there a warranty?

Snagless means a molded strain-relief boot covers the RJ45 clip so it does not catch or break when you pull the cable through tight spaces. Kxable offers a one-year warranty on these cables.
