Tripp Lite N201-002-BK Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 2ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-002-BK is a 2-foot Cat6 snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in both residential and commercial environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during routing and removal, reducing connector damage in dense patch environments. This cable carries Gigabit Ethernet and standard network data signals between patch panels, switches, routers, and end devices. It is sold as a single cable per unit. Network technicians and low-voltage installers are the primary trades working with this cable in telecom rooms, server closets, and wall-outlet-to-device runs.

This patch cable is suited for Cat6 horizontal cabling systems terminated at Cat6 or Cat6A patch panels. The 2-foot length is a common choice for short patch panel-to-switch runs in rack-mounted installations where cable management space is limited. The black jacket color supports color-coded cable management schemes. It is appropriate for use in 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet applications.

Key Features

• Snagless molded boot protects RJ45 tab during installation and removal in tight spaces
• Cat6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed data applications
• 2-foot length suited for short patch panel-to-switch connections in rack environments
• Black jacket supports color-coded cable management in structured cabling systems
• RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard Ethernet port compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with Cat6 and Cat6A patch panels, Ethernet switches, routers, and network interface ports using standard RJ45 connections.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable installations. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Route cables away from high-voltage conduit runs per NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines to prevent signal interference. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius to maintain Cat6 signal integrity.
