Tripp Lite N201-002-OR Cat6 Utp Patch Cable 2 Feet

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-002-OR is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. At 2 feet in length and finished in orange, it is designed for structured cabling environments where short-run connections and color-coded cable management are required. This cable meets Cat6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications. It is typically installed by network technicians, data center professionals, and low-voltage cabling contractors working on patch panel terminations, switch connections, or equipment rack wiring.

This patch cable is suited for use in commercial and residential network installations, server rooms, data closets, and equipment racks. The orange jacket aids in visual identification of specific network segments, VLANs, or connection types within a high-density patch environment. Its short 2-foot length makes it ideal for connecting adjacent patch panel ports to switch ports or for tight rack-mount applications where cable management is a priority.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage cabling technicians or network professionals. Ensure the destination port and patch panel are de-energized or powered down from a PoE standpoint before handling connected equipment. Route cables through approved cable management hardware to maintain bend radius requirements and avoid signal degradation. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper termination and labeling practices.
