6 ft Cat5e patch cable for everyday networking

This Tripp Lite N001-006-BK is a 6 ft Cat5e patch cable designed for standard wired connections. It links routers, switches, PCs and other RJ45 devices in home or office settings. The cable supports category 5 and 5e applications at a rated 350 MHz for 1 Gbps communication. It suits anyone needing a reliable, fixed-length copper link.

Snagless molded boots protect the latch during

The connectors are molded with integral strain relief and a snagless profile that stops the release tab catching on adjacent ports or cable bundles. PVC jacketed, 4-pair stranded UTP construction keeps the cable flexible for routing around corners or through trunking. No active components mean zero power draw and silent operation. Performance meets the stated 350 MHz rating under normal use.

Black 6 ft length with dual RJ45 ends for fixed runs

Both ends carry RJ45 plugs, giving a male-to-male connection ready for wall plates, patch panels or direct device ports. The black PVC sheath resists abrasion and blends with typical rack or desk setups. Stranded conductors tolerate repeated bending better than solid core, making it suited to patching rather than permanent in-wall installs. Buyers needing longer reach, outdoor rating or shielded pairs should choose a different specification.

Questions about this item

How do I plug the RJ45 connectors into a switch without snapping the tab?

Press the snagless boot down until the connector clicks fully into the port; the molded strain relief stops the latch from catching on adjacent cables during removal.

What part of the cable wears out first and needs replacing?

The RJ45 latch tabs can fatigue after repeated insertions; if a tab breaks the connector will not lock, so swap the patch lead when a tab feels loose.

At what throughput does the 350 MHz rating become the bottleneck?

The 350 MHz bandwidth supports 1 Gbps Ethernet; sustained traffic above that rate will hit the cable's frequency limit before the connectors do.
