Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e cable utilizes a 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design, optimized for 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet networks. The 350 MHz frequency rating ensures stable performance across the full 20-foot length, minimizing signal degradation in patch panel, switch, and endpoint connections.
The RJ45 connectors are precision-molded to maintain consistent contact and reduce crosstalk, supporting reliable PoE (Power over Ethernet) delivery where applicable. The snagless boot design integrates strain relief to protect the cable termination points from physical stress during routing and unplugging.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Cable Length, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable combines robust construction with user-friendly features to simplify network deployments and maintenance. The snagless boots prevent accidental disconnections in crowded racks, while the bright blue color aids in cable identification and management.
Durable Molded Design
The molded connectors and booted ends enhance cable longevity by resisting pull-out and bend damage, ideal for high-traffic IT environments.
- Integral strain relief
- Reinforced connector housing
- Reduced failure points
Performance Assurance
Tested to meet Cat5e specifications, this cable delivers consistent 1 Gbps throughput with minimal latency, supporting voice, data, and video applications.
- 350 MHz bandwidth
- Low signal attenuation
- Gigabit-ready
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this cable for connecting computers, printers, IP phones, and other network devices to switches, routers, or wall outlets in commercial and educational settings. Its 20-foot length provides flexibility for routing around desks, through conduits, or across server racks without requiring intermediate couplers.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Tripp Lite cable supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit per second) as per the IEEE 802.3ab standard. It is designed for 1000BASE-T networks, ensuring reliable performance for high-bandwidth applications like video streaming, file transfers, and VoIP in office and home environments.
How long is the cable, and is the length sufficient for typical setups?
The cable is 20 feet long (approximately 6.10 meters). This length is ideal for most common networking scenarios, such as connecting a computer to a wall jack or switch across a room, routing through desk grommets, or patching within server racks without excessive slack or tension.
What does 'snagless molded' mean for this patch cable?
Snagless molded refers to the boot design that covers the RJ45 connector latch, preventing it from catching on other cables or rack components during installation or removal. This reduces the risk of damage to the latch and connector, enhancing durability in high-density environments like data centers and network closets.
Is this cable suitable for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications?
Yes, this Cat5e cable supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its 4-pair UTP construction and compliant RJ45 connectors can deliver both data and power to devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, provided the connected equipment and switch support PoE standards.
What environmental standards does this cable meet?
This cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it is manufactured without certain hazardous materials like lead and mercury. This makes it environmentally friendly and suitable for use in regions with strict environmental regulations, aligning with sustainable IT practices.
Can I use this cable for outdoor or industrial environments?
This cable is designed for indoor use in controlled environments such as offices, data centers, and homes. Its PVC jacket is not rated for outdoor exposure, moisture, or extreme temperatures. For outdoor or harsh industrial settings, consider cables specifically rated for outdoor or industrial use with appropriate shielding and jacket materials.
