Tripp Lite N201-002-PU Cat6 Utp Patch Cable 2 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-002-PU is a Category 6 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) patch cable finished in purple, designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure applications. At 2 feet in length, it is well suited for short runs between patch panels and switches or between wall jacks and nearby equipment. Cat6 construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10-Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, meeting TIA-568-C.2 performance standards. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cable in data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and commercial office environments where clean color-coded patch management is required.

This cable is used in horizontal and equipment-room cabling scenarios where a compact, reliable Cat6 connection is needed. The purple jacket color supports standard color-coding practices for identifying specific network segments, VLANs, or administrative zones. Sold individually, it is a practical choice for technicians stocking patch cables for moves, adds, and changes in existing structured cabling systems.

Key Features

• Category 6 UTP construction supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• 2-foot length suits tight equipment-room and patch-panel applications
• Purple jacket enables color-coded cable management and segment identification
• Snagless or molded boot design protects the RJ-45 connector locking tab during installation and removal
• Sold as a single cable for individual replacement or targeted additions to existing installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 UTP patch cable compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ-45 ports on switches, routers, and network interface cards in residential and commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers handle this product; no special tools beyond standard cable management practices are required. Route cables away from high-voltage conductors and fluorescent lighting ballasts to minimize electromagnetic interference, in accordance with NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the minimum bend radius of the cable to maintain Cat6 performance. No power shutdown is required for patch cable replacement, but network impact should be coordinated before disconnecting active ports.
