Tripp Lite N201-S01-BL Cat6 Slim Patch Cable Blue

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-S01-BL is a slim-profile Cat6 patch cable designed for structured cabling installations where port density and cable management are priorities. At 1 foot in length, it is sized for short hop connections in patch panels, server racks, and high-density switch environments. The slim jacket reduces bundle diameter compared to standard Cat6 cables, making it easier to route multiple cables in tight spaces without restricting airflow. Finished in blue for color-coded identification, this cable suits IT professionals, low-voltage cabling contractors, and data center technicians working in organized rack installations.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and cross-connect runs in commercial and residential structured cabling systems. Its 1-foot length makes it a practical choice for direct panel-to-switch connections within a rack, where excess cable length creates management problems. The blue jacket color supports standard color-coding conventions commonly used to identify network segments or port types in managed environments.

Key Features

• Slim jacket profile reduces cable bundle diameter in high-density rack installations
• Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet and 10GBase-T applications at shorter distances
• 1-foot length ideal for intra-rack patch panel to switch connections
• Blue jacket for color-coded port and segment identification
• Sold as a single cable unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable compatible with standard Cat6 keystone jacks, patch panels, and RJ45 switch ports in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling installers and IT technicians typically install Cat6 patch cables as part of structured cabling or rack-and-stack work. Verify that both termination points are Cat6 or better before installation to maintain rated performance. Power does not need to be removed from network switches for patch cable replacement, but follow site safety and change-management procedures. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
