Tripp Lite N001-007-BK Cat5e Patch Cable 350mhz 7ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N001-007-BK is a 7-foot Cat5e patch cable rated at 350MHz, designed for structured wiring applications in commercial and residential network installations. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab from damage during routing and removal, reducing cable failures in high-density patch panel environments. At 350MHz, this cable supports standard 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connections. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals use this cable to connect switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in rack and wall-mount configurations.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and desktop network drops. Its 7-foot length fits comfortably between patch panels and switch ports in standard equipment racks, or between wall jacks and workstation equipment. The black jacket color aids in cable management and visual organization in multi-cable installations. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement work.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat5e patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped network devices including switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in Cat5e or Cat5 structured wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and network technicians install this cable without special tools beyond standard cable management hardware. Power down or disconnect active port equipment before swapping cables in live rack environments where ESD or unintended link drops are a concern. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius and do not cinch cable ties so tightly that the jacket deforms, as this can degrade signal performance. Installations in commercial buildings should follow applicable TIA/EIA-568 structured cabling standards.
