Tripp Lite N024-01K-GY

Overview

The Tripp Lite N024-01K-GY is a bulk spool of Cat5e Ethernet cable designed for professional network installations requiring reliable and code-compliant cabling. It delivers 1000 feet of solid 24 AWG copper conductors arranged in four pairs, supporting frequencies up to 350 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbps. Its plenum-rated PVC jacket allows safe installation in air handling spaces such as drop ceilings and HVAC return ducts without the need for conduit, simplifying setup while meeting building codes.

Key features

• Plenum-rated PVC jacket enables installation in air handling spaces, ensuring compliance with fire safety regulations.
• Solid core 24 AWG copper conductors reduce signal loss over long horizontal cable runs, maintaining network performance.
• Supports bandwidth up to 350 MHz and data rates up to 1 Gbps, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and legacy network protocols.
• Meets IEEE 802.3ab and ANSI/EIA/TIA 568 standards for broad compatibility with routers, switches, patch panels, and keystone jacks.
• Gray color coding helps with cable management and identification in commercial environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is engineered to work seamlessly with standard networking equipment commonly found in commercial and institutional settings. It supports Gigabit Ethernet connections and is compatible with ISDN, ATM, voice, and Token Ring protocols. Its adherence to industry standards ensures it pairs well with a wide range of routers, switches, patch panels, and keystone jacks, making it a versatile choice for network expansions or new installations.

Ideal uses and environments

The N024-01K-GY is well suited for office buildings, schools, hospitals, and other commercial interiors where network cabling must run through ceilings or walls, including air handling spaces. Its plenum rating allows installation in these sensitive areas without additional conduit, helping maintain proper airflow and simplifying compliance with fire codes. The solid core design supports long horizontal runs, making it a strong option for structured cabling projects that demand consistent Gigabit Ethernet performance.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
