Overview

The Tripp Lite N001-005-RD is a Cat5e Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable network connections for environments such as home offices, classrooms, and business racks. It supports frequencies up to 350 MHz and data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps, ensuring that gigabit-capable devices operate at full capacity. The cable’s 5-foot length makes it suitable for short runs between devices like modems, routers, switches, and PoE-enabled equipment.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is compatible with any device that uses standard RJ45 Ethernet ports and supports Cat5e or lower cabling standards. Its PoE support makes it a practical choice for powering network devices that receive power through the Ethernet connection, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. The snagless design helps maintain connection integrity in tight or crowded setups, such as server racks or office desks.

Ideal uses and environments

The Tripp Lite N001-005-RD fits well in small to medium network setups where short cable runs are needed. It works effectively for connecting modems to routers, patching switches in network racks, or linking PoE devices like IP cameras and VoIP phones. The red jacket is especially useful in environments where multiple cables are bundled together, helping users quickly trace and manage network lines.

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.
