What this cable is

This Tripp Lite Cat5e patch cable is a 1 ft shielded Ethernet lead with snagless RJ45 connectors on both ends. It is rated for 350 MHz and 1 Gbps communication using PVC 4-pair stranded UTP construction. The moulded boots include integral strain relief to protect the locking tabs during installation.

Who it suits and who it does not

It suits installers who need a short, factory-terminated link for Gigabit Ethernet runs between patch panels, switches or wall outlets. The snagless design helps in dense cabinets where cables are frequently rerouted. Buyers who need longer reach, higher bandwidth categories such as Cat6 or Cat6a, or outdoor-rated jackets should look at something else.

Deciding specification

The 1 ft length is the critical constraint; it only spans equipment within the same rack or desk cluster. If the connection distance exceeds this, a longer cable from the same N002 series is required.

Questions about this item

What connector type does this 1 ft Cat5e cable use for the RJ45 ports?

It uses two snagless RJ45 molded male connectors with integral strain relief.

How do you install the snagless RJ45 connectors without damaging the locking tabs?

Align each connector with the port and push straight in until the tab clicks; the snagless boot protects the tab during insertion and removal.

When should this shielded Cat5e patch cable be replaced?

Replace it if the PVC jacket shows cuts, the connectors become loose, or the cable no longer supports the rated 350 MHz and 1 Gbps performance.
