User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat5e UTP patch cable supports data transmission up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) with a 350 MHz frequency rating. It's compliant with IEEE 802.3ab standards, ensuring reliable performance for modern network applications including high-speed internet, file transfers, and VoIP communications.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends of this patch cable feature standard RJ-45 male connectors. Each connector is molded with integral strain relief boots that protect against cable pull-out and physical damage. The gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance and maintain signal integrity for consistent Ethernet connectivity.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. It uses 4-pair stranded conductors without additional shielding layers, making it suitable for typical office and data center environments where electromagnetic interference is minimal. The UTP design provides flexibility and easier installation compared to shielded alternatives.
What is the jacket material and why does it matter?
The cable features a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket that provides durability, flexibility, and protection for the internal conductors. PVC resists abrasion and environmental factors while maintaining pliability for routing in tight spaces. The blue color allows for visual identification in cable management systems.
What applications is this 1-foot patch cable best suited for?
The 1-foot length makes this cable ideal for short-distance connections where minimal slack is desired. Common applications include patch panel to switch connections in server racks, wall outlet to device links for computers and IP phones, and any scenario requiring tidy cable management in confined spaces.
Does this cable come with any warranty coverage?
Yes, this Tripp Lite Cat5e UTP patch cable is backed by a lifetime warranty. This provides long-term assurance against manufacturing defects and ensures reliable performance throughout the cable's service life in your network infrastructure.
