Tripp Lite N201-002-RD Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable 2ft Red

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-002-RD is a Cat6 snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in both residential and commercial environments. At 2 feet in length, it is built for short-run connections between patch panels, switches, and network equipment. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing the risk of connector damage in high-density rack environments. The red jacket provides quick visual identification in cable management applications where color-coded organization is required. This cable is handled and installed by low-voltage technicians, network installers, and IT infrastructure professionals.

This patch cable is suited for use in Cat6 and Cat6A patch panel installations, server racks, telecom closets, and desktop network drops. The 2-foot length makes it well suited for tight rack setups where cable management space is limited. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of damaged or incorrectly routed patch cables in existing structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network installers and IT technicians handle installation of patch cables in structured cabling systems. Power down or place associated switching equipment in a safe state before working in live rack environments where accidental disconnection could disrupt active network sessions. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management accessories. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards and local low-voltage codes for proper patch panel termination and cable routing practices.
