Tripp Lite N201-014-BL Cat6 Gigabit Patch Cable 14ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-014-BL is a Cat6 Gigabit Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and light industrial environments. At 14 feet in length, it supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) and is suited for connecting network switches, patch panels, routers, and end-user devices. Cat6 cabling meets the performance demands of modern network infrastructure, handling data rates up to 1 Gbps with improved crosstalk reduction compared to Cat5e. Network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and IT installers rely on this type of cable for clean, reliable runs in racks, server rooms, and wall-port terminations.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in residential and commercial network installations. Typical applications include data center rack patching, office network drops, and AV or security system data runs where a pre-terminated, ready-to-install cable is preferred over field-terminated solutions. The 14-foot length suits medium-distance rack-to-device or panel-to-switch runs without excess slack.

Key Features

• Cat6 performance supporting Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) connections
• Pre-terminated, ready-to-install patch cable — no field termination required
• 14-foot length suitable for rack and panel patching applications
• Standard RJ45 connectors on both ends for broad device compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable compatible with RJ45 ports on network switches, routers, patch panels, and Ethernet-enabled devices following TIA/EIA-568-B Cat6 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage contractors or IT network technicians. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management hardware. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can degrade signal performance, and observe the minimum bend radius for Cat6 cabling. Verify patch panel and port labeling before finalizing connections to prevent miswiring in high-density environments.
