Tripp Lite N001-006-BK Cat5e Patch Cable 6in Black

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N001-006-BK is a Cat5e patch cable designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. At 6 inches in length and finished in black, it provides a clean, low-profile connection between adjacent equipment in patch panels, switches, and server rack environments. Cat5e construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and reduces crosstalk compared to standard Cat5, making it a reliable choice for high-density installations where cable management and signal integrity both matter. This cable is installed by network technicians, IT professionals, and electricians working on data infrastructure.

This patch cable is suited for short-run connections in rack-mounted environments, server rooms, and data closets. The 6-inch length is particularly useful for direct panel-to-switch jumper runs where longer cables would create unnecessary slack and clutter. It is appropriate for both commercial and residential structured wiring installations wherever Cat5e-rated connectivity is required.

Key Features

• Cat5e construction supports Gigabit Ethernet at up to 1000BASE-T standards
• 6-inch length designed for short-run, rack-to-rack or panel-to-switch jumper use
• Black jacket finish aids in color-coded cable management schemes
• Snagless or molded boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Cat5e or Cat5 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 ports on network switches and routers.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by network technicians and structured cabling professionals. No tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Ensure equipment is powered down or in a safe maintenance state before making changes to active patch panel connections in sensitive network environments. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper termination and routing practices.
