Tripp Lite 2.13 m Cat5e 350MHz Snagless Molded Patch Cable (RJ45 M/M) – Blue (N001-007-BL)

Cat5e 350MHz Snagless Molded Patch Cable (RJ45 M/M) – Blue, 7-ft.

Description

The Tripp Lite N001‑007‑BL is a 7-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed network connections. Featuring snagless molded RJ45 connectors with integrated strain relief, this cable ensures durability and prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation or frequent re-plugging. Supporting Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) and a bandwidth of 350 MHz, it is ideal for home, office, or data center environments. Constructed with flexible PVC unshielded twisted pair (UTP), it routes easily through tight spaces, while its blue color makes identification simple in patch panels or cable bundles. Perfect for connecting computers, switches, routers, gaming consoles, VoIP phones, or other Ethernet-enabled devices, this cable delivers fast, reliable network performance in a variety of applications.
