Tripp Lite N201-010-PU Cat6 Patch Cable 10 Ft Purple

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-010-PU is a Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. Built with molded strain-relief boots at each connector, this cable provides a secure, snag-resistant connection between network equipment. The purple jacket color supports color-coded cable management strategies commonly used in data centers, server rooms, and telecom closets. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians rely on this cable for clean, organized patch panel and switch connections.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal runs and equipment connections in standard 100BASE-TX, 1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T applications within Cat6 distance limits. The purple jacket makes it easy to identify specific network segments, VLANs, or cable types at a glance. Typical installation scenarios include patching between wall jacks and workstation equipment, connecting switches to patch panels, and linking network devices in rack-mount environments.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications within standard distance limits
• Molded strain-relief boots protect RJ45 connectors from cable stress and disconnection
• Purple jacket enables color-coded cable management and segment identification
• 10-foot length provides flexibility for medium-distance patch runs in racks and server rooms
• Sold individually as a single cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Cat6 patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 ports on switches, routers, patch panels, wall plates, and network interface cards meeting Cat5e or Cat6 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation does not require powered-down equipment for hot-swap capable switches, though shutting down sensitive endpoints before patching is recommended practice. Low-voltage cabling technicians should follow TIA-568 standards for structured cabling and adhere to applicable local codes. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. Do not cinch cable ties excessively tight, as compression can degrade Cat6 performance.
