- reducing the risk of decreased network performance due to cable damage. Star Tech.com Cat 5e cables are manufactured with copper conductors. While many cable manufacturers offer a "cheaper" cable based on a copper-coated aluminum core, Star Tech.com makes no compromises on quality to ensure you receive top value for your cable investment. Cat 5 cables are constructed with 24 gauge copper wire to support a broad range of Ethernet applications, such as Power over Ethernet (Po E). Because of a high quality 24 gauge wire, these cables easily sustain the nominal voltage (48v) capability required for Power over Ethernet applications, whereas the inferior quality offered by copper-coated aluminum cables may be subject to insufficient power delivery, heat build up, equipment damage & potentially, fire. Star Tech.com Cat 5 cables offer high quality connectors comprised of 50 micron gold to ensure optimum conductivity while eliminating signal loss due to oxidation or corrosion.
