Product Features
Technical Overview
This Cat5e cable utilizes a 4-pair unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design with stranded conductors, optimized for patch cable applications where flexibility and repeated handling are required. The 350 MHz frequency rating exceeds the baseline Cat5e specification, providing headroom for stable performance in high-density networking environments. The RJ45 connectors are precision-molded to maintain consistent contact and reduce signal loss over the full 100-foot length.
Key technical attributes include compliance with RoHS environmental standards, ensuring the cable is free from hazardous substances. The snagless boot design prevents accidental disconnection in tight spaces, while the blue color aids in visual organization and tracing within complex cable runs.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines durability with performance, featuring a robust PVC jacket and molded connectors that resist wear in active patch panel environments. The snagless boots provide integral strain relief, reducing connector damage and downtime in frequently reconfigured networks.
The 350 MHz rating ensures reliable operation beyond standard Cat5e requirements, supporting Gigabit Ethernet with consistent signal integrity. Its RoHS compliance and environmentally friendly design align with modern sustainability goals, while the lifetime warranty underscores Tripp Lite's commitment to quality.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Tripp Lite Cat5e cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet), compliant with IEEE 802.3ab standards. Its 350 MHz frequency rating provides stable performance for high-speed network applications, ensuring reliable connectivity in modern office and data center environments.
How long is the cable, and what are its connector types?
The cable is 100 feet (30.48 meters) long, with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. This male-to-male (M/M) configuration is standard for patch cables, allowing direct connections between network devices like switches, routers, and computers without additional adapters.
What does 'snagless molded' mean for this network cable?
Snagless molded refers to the integrated boot design on the RJ45 connectors, which prevents the cable from snagging on other objects during installation or removal. This strain-relief feature reduces connector damage and disconnection risks, especially in dense patch panels or tight spaces.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor or industrial use?
This cable is designed for indoor use with a Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket, which provides durability in office and data center environments. It is not rated for outdoor or harsh industrial conditions; for such applications, consider cables with specific outdoor or plenum ratings.
What warranty does Tripp Lite offer with this cable?
Tripp Lite provides a lifetime limited warranty for this Cat5e cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty reflects the product's build quality and is backed by Eaton Corporation, ensuring long-term reliability for professional networking deployments.
