Product identity

The Tripp Lite N002-006-GY is a six-foot Cat5e patch cord built for standard wired networking. It uses RJ45 plugs on both ends and a gray PVC jacket that covers four twisted pairs of stranded copper. The molded boots include integral strain relief to protect the termination points during routine handling.

Suitable uses and limits

This cable suits home-office desks, small-business workstations and temporary patch-panel links where a short gray run keeps cable management tidy. It is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps data rates, so it handles everyday Ethernet traffic without issue. Buyers who need longer runs, outdoor-rated jackets, shielded construction or higher-category performance should look at other cable types.

Deciding specification

The 350 MHz rating is the single figure that determines whether this cord meets a given network requirement. It confirms support for gigabit speeds over the full six-foot length under typical conditions. If the installation demands certified Cat6 or Cat6a performance, this Cat5e assembly will not satisfy that specification.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the cable is delivering the rated 350MHz performance after I plug it in?

Connect the cable between your router and device, then run a speed test or transfer a large file; sustained gigabit throughput indicates the 350MHz rating is being met.

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use this cable?

The box contains the 6 ft gray Cat5e patch cord with molded RJ45 connectors on both ends; no additional parts are required for a standard Ethernet connection.

Should I choose this 6 ft gray version or a different length or colour for my setup?

Pick the 6 ft gray cable when the run between devices is about that distance and you prefer a neutral colour; select a different length if the gap is shorter or longer.
