50 ft Cat5e patch cable

The Tripp Lite N001-050-BK is a 50 ft Category 5e patch cable designed for wired network connections. It fits home offices, small businesses and anyone extending a router or switch to a desktop, printer or access point. Both ends carry RJ45 male connectors for standard Ethernet ports. The black jacket helps identify the run in crowded panels.

Snagless moulded connectors with strain relief

Moulded boots integrate strain relief to protect the cable-to-connector junction during routing. The snagless design shields the RJ45 locking tabs from catching on adjacent cables or panel edges. This construction reduces the risk of tab breakage that would cause intermittent links. No external power or active electronics are involved.

Lifetime limited warranty included

The package contains the single Cat5e patch cable and a lifetime limited warranty from the manufacturer. No additional software, drivers or mounting hardware are bundled. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the usable life of the cable. Buyers needing pre-terminated fibre, outdoor-rated jackets or lengths beyond 50 ft should select a different product.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 50 ft Cat5e cable without snapping the RJ45 locking tabs?

The snagless boots cover the tabs so they cannot catch on bulkheads or other cables; run the cable, then press each RJ45 male connector firmly until the tab clicks into the port.

When should I replace this Cat5e patch cable?

Replace it if the molded strain relief splits, the jacket shows deep kinks, or a link drops below 1 Gbps after re-terminating both RJ45 ends.

What speed ceiling appears first on a 50 ft run under heavy load?

The Cat5e rating caps sustained throughput at 1 Gbps, so that limit is reached before the 50 ft length adds measurable attenuation.
