Tripp Lite N201-015-BL Cat6 Patch Cable 15 Ft Blue

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-015-BL is a Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in commercial and residential network environments. This male-to-male cable spans 15 feet and is finished in blue for easy visual identification during rack management and troubleshooting. Cat6 cabling supports Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect switches, patch panels, routers, and end devices in both horizontal and equipment-room runs.

This cable is suited for data center patch fields, server room equipment connections, and general horizontal drops in office or light-commercial settings. The blue jacket aids color-coded cable management schemes common in structured wiring installations. It ships as a single cable unit, making it easy to order by quantity to match patch panel port counts or individual run requirements.

Key Features

• Cat6-rated construction supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10/100 BASE-T applications
• 15-foot length suits medium-distance equipment room and horizontal patch runs
• Blue jacket for color-coded cable management and quick visual identification
• Male-to-male RJ45 connectors on both ends for standard patch panel and device connections
• Backward compatible with Cat5e infrastructure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Cat6 patch cable for use with RJ45-equipped network switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards in structured cabling systems meeting TIA-568-C.2 or equivalent standards.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically deploy this cable in accordance with TIA-568 cabling standards. Avoid sharp bends, kinks, or exceeding the minimum bend radius, as these can degrade signal integrity on Cat6 cabling. Do not staple or crush the jacket during routing. Ensure connectors seat fully in RJ45 ports before securing cable management hardware.
