Detailed Specifications
Eaton N020-01K-GY Tripp Lite Series 1000 ft. Cat5e Bulk Cable
Overview :
The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N020-01K-GY is a 1000-foot Category 5e (Cat5e) stranded unshielded twisted pair (UTP) bulk cable, specifically engineered for creating custom-length patch cables. This product addresses the critical need for flexible, high-performance network connections in dynamic IT environments such as office workstations, server rooms, and data center patching fields. Its design allows for precise cable management and optimized signal integrity in various applications. This 24 AWG, 4-pair cable supports 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) communication and is rated for a bandwidth of 350 MHz, significantly exceeding the standard Cat5e TIA requirement of 100 MHz. The stranded-core construction provides enhanced flexibility and resistance to fatigue, making it the ideal choice for applications where cables are frequently moved, routed, or reconfigured, distinguishing it from solid-core alternatives used for permanent in-wall installations. Supplied on a convenient spool, the Eaton N020-01K-GY facilitates on-site customization, enabling engineers and technicians to cut and terminate exact cable lengths, minimizing waste. Its CMR (riser-rated) PVC jacket ensures suitability for vertical cable runs between floors in building risers, adhering to essential fire safety codes. The bulk cable is designed for termination with standard RJ45 connectors (not included) to form custom patch cables, seamlessly integrating into existing network infrastructures and management platforms.
