Tripp Lite Cat5e/Cat6 STP Patch Cable, 23 ft, RJ45 M/M

Keep critical network links intact in environments where moisture, dust, and exposure can compromise ordinary cabling. This Tripp Lite industrial patch cable is designed for Cat5e and Cat6 shielded twisted-pair deployments, giving you a dependable 23 ft connection between RJ45-equipped devices. The CMX outdoor jacket and IP68 protection make it a strong fit for outdoor runs, plant-floor connections, and other locations where cable durability matters as much as signal continuity. At 26 AWG, the cable balances flexibility with the shielding and construction needed for industrial networking. The RJ45 male-to-male design supports straightforward integration into switches, access points, controllers, and other Ethernet endpoints. For teams standardizing on ruggedized infrastructure, this cable helps reduce the need for frequent replacements and supports cleaner, more predictable installations than low-cost indoor patch cords. When uptime depends on the physical layer, the right cable choice matters. This model is built to serve as a practical, specification-driven option for installations that need outdoor-rated protection and shielded performance in a single assembly.
