Tripp Lite N201-005-BL Cat 6 Patch Cable Blue 5 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-005-BL is a Cat 6 patch cable designed for structured network installations in commercial and residential settings. Finished in blue for easy visual identification and cable management, this 5-foot cable provides a reliable copper Ethernet connection between network equipment. Cat 6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher-bandwidth applications, making it a standard choice for switch-to-patch-panel runs, workstation drops, and equipment rack connections. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and network installers use this cable as part of everyday structured cabling work.

This patch cable is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, office environments, and light commercial network closets. At 5 feet, it is a practical length for short horizontal runs between a patch panel and a network switch, or from a wall outlet to a desktop device. The blue jacket color follows common color-coding conventions to distinguish network segments or service types at a glance.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers handle Cat 6 patch cable terminations and connections. Power down or place network equipment in a safe state before swapping active patch cables in a production environment to avoid dropped connections. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing, as sharp bends can degrade signal performance. Work performed in commercial buildings may be subject to local low-voltage and structured cabling codes.
