What this cable is

The Tripp Lite N001-005-BK is a 5 ft Cat5e moulded patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It supports category 5 and 5e applications at 350 MHz and features a black snagless design with integral strain relief. The cable is new and intended for standard wired network connections.

Who this suits

This cable suits anyone needing a short, reliable link between a computer, router, switch or patch panel where Cat5e performance is sufficient. Buyers who want more bandwidth than 350 MHz, a longer reach than 5 ft, or a different colour should look at something else. It is not for outdoor or in-wall installations that require a specific jacket rating.

Installing and common issues

The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during routing, so the connectors click into ports without catching on adjacent cables. Simply push each RJ45 plug until it locks; no tools are required. The most common issue is accidentally bending the thin moulded strain relief too sharply, which can damage the internal conductors over time.

Questions about this item

Which devices need an RJ45 port to connect with this 5 ft Cat5e cable?

Any network device with a standard RJ45 jack — routers, switches, PCs, printers or NAS units — will accept the male connectors on both ends of this 5 ft patch cable.

Will this Cat5e 350 MHz cable limit the speed of a Gigabit switch I already own?

The cable is rated for 350 MHz and Cat5e performance, so it supports Gigabit Ethernet without bottlenecking the older switch you plan to keep.

How can I verify the snagless boots are protecting the locking tabs after I plug the cable in?

Press down on each RJ45 plug; the molded boot should cover the tab completely and the tab should click securely into the port without catching on adjacent cables.
