Tripp Lite N201-005-WH Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Feet White

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-005-WH is a Cat6 patch cable in a 5-foot white configuration, designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. It provides a reliable, standards-compliant copper connection between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. This cable is a standard pull-through solution used by network technicians, low-voltage installers, and IT professionals during initial builds, moves, adds, and changes.

This cable is suited for short horizontal runs, equipment room patch work, and desktop-to-wall-port connections. The white jacket makes it easy to color-code network segments by function or VLAN in structured cabling environments. At 5 feet, it is a practical length for rack-mounted equipment, tight equipment closets, or workstation drops where cable management is a priority. It ships as a single unit and is ready to install out of the box.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet applications
• 5-foot length suited for patch panel and rack-to-switch connections
• White jacket for color-coded cable management
• Terminated with standard RJ45 connectors at both ends
• Backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6 and Cat5e network ports including switches, routers, patch panels, and wall jacks in structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network professionals and typically follows TIA-568 structured cabling standards. No tools are required for patch cable termination as both ends are factory-terminated. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as these can degrade signal performance. Do not route alongside high-voltage electrical runs without proper separation per applicable codes.
