Tripp Lite N001-050-BK Cat5e Patch Cable 50 Feet

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N001-050-BK is a Cat5e patch cable in a 50-foot length, finished in black. Cat5e cabling supports network speeds up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet and is designed for structured wiring applications in commercial and residential environments. This cable serves as a straight-through connection between network devices, patch panels, switches, routers, and wall jacks. Network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals install this cable during initial infrastructure builds or as a replacement run where additional length is required.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs, equipment rack connections, and workstation drops in both office and light industrial settings. At 50 feet, it covers longer distances within a single room or between adjacent spaces without requiring an intermediate connection point. It is sold as a single unit and is ready to install out of the packaging with no field termination required.

Key Features

• Cat5e specification supports up to 1 Gigabit Ethernet throughput
• 50-foot length accommodates longer in-room or cross-room runs
• Black jacket color simplifies cable identification in multi-cable installations
• Pre-terminated ends allow direct installation without field crimping
• Single-unit packaging for targeted replacement or supplemental runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable for Cat5e structured wiring systems using standard RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage installers and IT technicians handle installation of patch cables. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends or kinks along the cable run, as these can degrade signal performance. Follow applicable TIA-568 structured cabling standards for bend radius and cable management.
