Tripp Lite N001-003-GY Cat5 Cat5e Patch Cable 3 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N001-003-GY is a Cat5/Cat5e patch cable designed for structured cabling and network patching applications. This 3-foot cable provides a reliable copper connection between network devices, patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks in both residential and light commercial installations. It ships in a gray jacket finish and is sold as a single unit. The cable meets Cat5e performance standards, supporting data transmission at speeds appropriate for standard Ethernet network infrastructure. Licensed low-voltage technicians and network cabling installers are the primary trades handling this type of component.

This patch cable is suited for use in data closets, server rooms, office environments, and residential network setups. It connects equipment at the patch panel level or runs directly between a wall outlet and an end device. The 3-foot length makes it a practical choice for short rack-to-switch or device-to-jack runs where cable management and minimal slack are priorities. It is commonly used in both new construction cabling projects and retrofit or upgrade installations.
