Tripp Lite Cat 5E Patch Cable

The Tripp Lite N001-020-BL DUP is a 20 ft Category 5e patch cable built with stranded conductors. It terminates in RJ-45 male connectors on both ends and features a blue PVC jacket. The cable is designed for standard network device connections in home or office environments.

Boots and Snagless Design

Molded boots and snagless tabs protect the connector latches during frequent insertion and removal. This helps maintain a secure click in crowded patch panels or wall plates. Installers who prefer unbooted plugs for very dense switch ports may find the added bulk inconvenient.

Stranded Construction for Flexibility

Stranded wire construction makes the cable pliable for routing around corners and through cable management channels. It connects directly between a network device and a router, switch, or wall jack without requiring additional couplers. The 20 ft length suits typical desktop or rack-to-floor runs.

Questions about this item

What RJ-45 ports must my router and computer have for this 20 ft Cat 5e cable to connect them?

Both devices need a standard RJ-45 female network port; the cable provides a male RJ-45 connector on each end.

Will this Cat 5e patch cable work with older Cat 5 wall jacks and switches I already have?

Yes, Cat 5e is backward compatible with Cat 5 infrastructure, so it will link at the highest speed both ends support.

How can I confirm the snagless boots and molded strain relief are protecting the connectors after I plug it in?

The boots should cover the release tabs fully and the molded collars should sit flush against each port with no cable kink at the joint.
