One metre is the sweet spot for most desk-to-switch or PC-to-router connections. Enough reach to route cleanly, short enough that it's not pooling under your chair. This 8WARE Cat5E patch cord is 1m of 26AWG copper, T568A wired, with injection-molded plug boots that stay seated when you shuffle the laptop around. Blue jacket so you know which run is which when you're troubleshooting. Plug in, link light on, back to work
