Tripp Lite N201-006-BL CAT6 Snagless Patch Cable Blue

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-006-BL is a CAT6 snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and removal, reducing connector damage in high-density patch panel applications. At 6 inches in length and finished in blue for easy circuit identification, this cable suits short-run connections between adjacent equipment in server racks, telecom closets, and equipment cabinets. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers.

This patch cable is used wherever a short CAT6 connection is needed between switches, patch panels, routers, or other network equipment. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes common in structured wiring installations. It is sold as a single cable and suits both new installations and replacement runs in existing CAT6 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians or licensed electricians typically install structured cabling patch cables. Power down or log out of active network sessions before swapping cables in live equipment to avoid data disruption. Follow TIA-568 standards for CAT6 patch cable routing and bend-radius requirements. Avoid sharp bends or cable ties overtightened around the jacket, as excessive compression can degrade signal performance.
