What This Cable Does

The Tripp Lite N001-005-BL is a 5 ft Cat5e patch cord with blue snagless moulded connectors. It carries data for standard Cat5 and Cat5e network links at up to 350 MHz bandwidth. The integral strain relief protects the RJ45 plug from bending stress during routine moves.

Who Should Buy It

Home users and small-office installers who need a short, reliable drop between a router, switch or wall jack and a desktop, printer or access point will find the length convenient. Installers running longer horizontal runs, PoE+ equipment requiring certified conductor gauge, or structured cabling that demands verified alien-crosstalk margins should look at something else.

The Spec That Decides Fit

The 350 MHz rating confirms the cable meets Cat5e performance for 1 Gbps Ethernet over the full 5 ft length. If your infrastructure requires Cat6 or Class E transmission specifications this cord will not satisfy that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 5 ft blue Cat5e cable or a different length for my setup?

Pick the 5 ft length when the router and device are close together; a longer run only adds slack without improving the 350 MHz bandwidth rating.

What does the 350 MHz rating actually deliver in a real network?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports the full Cat5e specification, so gigabit Ethernet runs at its rated speed across the 5 ft link.

How does the RJ45 connector and Cat5e standard limit the maximum throughput?

The RJ45 plugs and Cat5e construction cap the cable at 1 Gbps, matching the 350 MHz bandwidth and 5 ft length.
