Tripp Lite N001-003-BL 3 ft Cat5e network ethernet cable

3 ft Cat5e patch cable

The Tripp Lite N001-003-BL is a 3 ft Cat5e patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It uses PVC 4-pair stranded UTP construction and is rated for 350 MHz and 1 Gbps data rates. The blue jacket provides easy colour coding in a rack or at a desk. Moulded connectors with integral strain relief and a snagless design protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal.

Replaces shorter or damaged Cat5e leads

This cable replaces a shorter Cat5e patch lead when devices sit further apart, or a worn cable whose locking tabs have snapped. The snagless boots and moulded strain relief make the swap worthwhile when connectors are plugged and unplugged often. The 3 ft length suits connections between a wall jack and a desktop, a switch and a patch panel, or two rack-mounted units in the same cabinet.

Suits installers needing a short.

The 3 ft length and snagless boots suit installers who need a short, reliable Cat5e link in a crowded rack or on a desk. Buyers who need a longer run, a different jacket colour, or a higher category such as Cat6 or Cat6a should look at other options. The stranded conductors are intended for patching, not for solid-core horizontal runs inside walls.
