Cat5e

Wired internet connector

Cat5e is a category of Ethernet cable used for computer networking, the "e" standing for enhanced.

It supports faster speeds and reduced interference compared to the earlier Cat5 standard.

Cat5e handles gigabit Ethernet and remains common for home and office networks: I need to run some Cat5e to the back room.
