Tripp Lite N200-003-BK Cat6 Gigabit Patch Cable 3ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N200-003-BK is a Cat6 gigabit Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built to Cat6 specifications, this cable supports gigabit Ethernet speeds and is suited for connecting switches, patch panels, routers, and networked equipment. At 3 feet in length and finished in black, it is a practical choice for short runs in server racks, equipment cabinets, and wall-port-to-device connections. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and IT infrastructure installers are the typical trades working with this cable in both new construction and retrofit scenarios.

This patch cable is appropriate for horizontal runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment-side connections in structured cabling systems built to TIA-568 standards. The 3-foot length suits tight cabinet work and short cross-connects. The black jacket finish is common in environments where color-coded cabling schemes designate specific VLANs, functions, or port types. It fits standard RJ45 ports on Cat6-compatible switches, routers, access points, and network interface cards.

Key Features

• Cat6 specification supports gigabit Ethernet data transmission
• 3-foot length suited for rack, cabinet, and short-run patch applications
• Black jacket for color-coded cable management in structured cabling environments
• RJ45 connectors compatible with standard Cat6 and Cat5e ports
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use in Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling installations with RJ45-equipped network equipment.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle Cat6 patch cable installations, which typically fall under TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure the destination ports are RJ45 Cat6 or Cat5e rated before installation. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation per NEC guidelines. No special tools are required for patch cable connections beyond standard cable management hardware.
