Tripp Lite N201-007-GY Cat 6 Patch Cable Gray 7 in

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-007-GY is a Category 6 (Cat 6) Ethernet patch cable finished in gray, measuring 7 inches in length. Cat 6 patch cables carry high-speed data signals between network switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices. This cable meets Cat 6 performance standards, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and higher-bandwidth applications common in structured cabling installations. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and IT professionals install this type of cable in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and general commercial or residential network installations.

This patch cable is suited for short-run horizontal and equipment-bay connections where a compact 7-inch run is required. Typical applications include connecting patch panel ports to nearby switch ports, dressing cable management within a rack enclosure, or linking devices in tight equipment setups. The gray jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices common in structured cabling environments.

Key Features

• Cat 6 rated for Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• 7-inch length suited for short equipment-bay and patch panel connections
• Gray jacket supports color-coded cable management in rack and data center environments
• Sold individually as a single unit for precise quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat 6 patch cable compatible with Cat 6 and Cat 5e patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface cards using RJ45 ports in typical structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or network professionals following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance. No special tools are required for plug-and-play termination; however, verify RJ45 connector seating is secure at both ends before testing the link.
