    The CAT5e ethernet patch lead is one of the most common network leads available today, they are made up from category 5e cable which will support ethernet network speeds up 1000Mbps which is way faster than the average fibre broadband connection in the UK. The wire is made up of 4 cable pairs, 8 wires total, each pair is twisted which helps to reduce noise pickup, on either end there is an 8 pin RJ45 network plug ready to plug straight into your modem, router, network switch, PC or smart TV etc.

    The common terms used to describe this type of lead are Network Cables, Ethernet Cables, Patch Cables and Patch Cords, they all mean the same thing and perform the same, the main variation with network cables is the materials used, full copper are better than economy network cables, LSZH have a low smoke jacket and the lower the AWG number means a thicker copper core. If you are powering devices over the network cable using POE (power over ethernet) we recommond the 24AWG full copper cables.
