Detailed Specifications
Eaton N024-01K-BL Tripp Lite Cat5e 350MHz 1000ft Bulk Cable
Overview
The Eaton N024-01K-BL is a high-performance, solid-core Category 5e (Cat5e) bulk Ethernet cable designed for robust network installations in premise environments. This cable is specifically engineered for in-wall applications, particularly within air ducts and drop ceilings, where fire safety and reliable data transmission are paramount. It addresses the critical need for compliant and efficient structured cabling that can support modern network speeds. Featuring high-quality 24 AWG 4-pair solid copper wire, this cable is rated for 350 MHz and supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps), ensuring ample bandwidth for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet, 100 Mbps TPDDI, and other network protocols. The plenum-rated PVC jacket is a key technical differentiator, allowing for safe deployment in spaces used for air circulation, where strict fire codes apply. This ensures that installations meet rigorous safety standards, mitigating the spread of fire and smoke in building infrastructure. The N024-01K-BL is provided in a convenient 1000-foot pull box, simplifying deployment and reducing waste by allowing technicians to cut precise lengths for each run. It is ideally suited for horizontal wiring applications, connecting network devices such as Ethernet wall jacks to routers, patch panels, or switches within a local area network (LAN). Adhering to industry standards including IEEE 802.3ab and ANSI/EIA/TIA 568, this cable guarantees compatibility and peak performance across various networking hardware and configurations.
