Wifi is certainly convenient, but does the convenience outweigh the slower transfer speeds and the occasional unreliability of wireless communication? That's up to you. What we can tell you is that if you ever do decide to come back to the dark side and set up a screaming fast gigabit network in your house, office, or campus, this kit is for you, giving you 1000 feet of Cat5e gigabit-ready networking cable, 100 RJ45 heads, and a crimper tool, all for around $85.
About the Cat5e Cable
Our Cat5 cable is 'enhanced' giving it the extra 'e.' This essentially means that the cable is gigabit ready (aka Base1000-T) and is capable of transfering 1000 megabits per second. The cable is unshielded and features 4 twisted pairs of 24 AWG conductors with a solid construction (as opposed to stranded). The jacket is certified by UL to be installed in walls (CM jacket). 1000 feet of the cable sits in a pull box where the cable is easily pulled out without tangles, and the jacket is marked at every foot for easy installation.
About Our RJ45 Connectors and Crimper/Strip Tool
Our RJ45 heads will stand the test of time with ultra sensitive 50-micron thick gold plating over each connector which increases conductivity and data transfer. The connectors are made for unshielded solid Cat5e cable and works perfectly with the cable included in the kit. The crimper tool will get the job done with a blade for cutting/stripping cable and a crimping function for RJ45 and RJ11/RJ12.
This kit comes with 100 RJ45 heads (typically go for around $20 for two 50-packs), and our crimper tool which typically goes for around $25. The total value of the package is about $99.
