Tripp Lite 8 ft Cat5e Patch Cable

This 8 ft unshielded twisted-pair cable uses RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built to the Cat5e standard with 24 AWG conductors and a 550 MHz bandwidth rating. Molded strain relief and a snagless boot protect the locking tabs during installation.

Suited for Gigabit Ethernet links up to 1 Gbps

The cable supports IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet over copper, making it appropriate for home routers, switches and patch panels. Builders who require shielded construction, higher category ratings or lengths other than 8 ft should select a different cable.

Cat5e rating determines maximum supported speed

The Category 5e classification limits the link to 1 Gbps at 550 MHz. If the network infrastructure demands Cat6 or Cat6a performance, this cable will not meet that specification.

Questions about this item

Cat 5e or Cat 6 — which one is this cable actually rated for?

The manufacturer labels it Cat 5e, so it meets Cat 5e performance.

What does 550 MHz mean for my gigabit connection?

550 MHz bandwidth provides headroom above the 1 Gbps signal, reducing errors on the 8 ft run.

Will the RJ45 connectors work with my router and PC ports?

Yes, both ends are standard RJ45 male plugs compatible with IEEE 802.3 equipment.
