Overview
The Tripp Lite N030-100-STR is a 100-pack of unshielded RJ45 modular plugs designed for round stranded 4-pair Cat5e UTP cable. The clear connectors are intended for terminating custom-length network cables used in data and voice applications.
Cat5e Cable Compatibility
These modular plugs are designed specifically for round stranded UTP conductor cabling with four pairs. They can be used to terminate compatible Cat5e cable, including Tripp Lite N020-Series patch cabling.
Connector Design
The N030-100-STR uses 8-position, 8-contact RJ45 modular plug construction. The contacts are gold-plated with a 15-micron finish. A staggered nose pattern is used to reduce near-end crosstalk (NEXT) within the terminated connection.
Installation
The connectors are compatible with most RJ45 crimping tools, with AMP crimping tools excluded according to the manufacturer. They are intended for field termination when creating custom-length Cat5e cable runs.
Key Features
- 100 unshielded RJ45 modular plugs per pack
- Designed for round stranded 4-pair Cat5e UTP cable
- 15-micron gold-plated contacts
- Staggered nose pattern designed to reduce near-end crosstalk
- Compatible with most RJ45 crimping tools, excluding AMP tools
Applications
The N030-100-STR is intended for terminating compatible Cat5e round stranded UTP cable in data and voice installations. The 100-piece quantity is suited to cable assembly work where multiple custom-length network cables need to be terminated.
DC Supplies Product Note
Verify the cable construction before termination. This model is specified for round stranded 4-pair Cat5e UTP cable; it should not be treated as a universal RJ45 plug for every cable construction or category.
