Tripp Lite N201-S05-BL Cat6 Slim Patch Cable 5ft Blue

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-S05-BL is a slim-profile Cat6 Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling installations where space and cable management are a priority. At 5 feet in length and finished in blue for easy identification, this cable delivers full Cat6 performance for data networking applications. The slim jacket reduces cable bulk in high-density patch panel environments, making it a practical choice for server rooms, telecom closets, and network equipment racks. Network technicians and low-voltage installers reach for this cable when working in tight spaces where standard-diameter Cat6 cables create airflow or routing problems.

This patch cable suits residential and commercial networking installations alike. It connects switches, routers, patch panels, and end devices in structured cabling systems built to Cat6 standards. The 5-foot length works well for short horizontal runs between adjacent rack-mounted equipment or from wall ports to nearby workstations. The blue jacket follows common color-coding conventions used to distinguish network segments or traffic types on the patch field.

Key Features

• Slim jacket profile reduces bundle diameter in high-density rack and patch panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable for Cat6 and Cat6E structured cabling systems using standard RJ-45 ports.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable runs. No tools are required for patch cable connections, though cable management hardware such as lacing bars or Velcro ties are commonly used in rack environments. Follow TIA-568 bend radius guidelines to maintain cable performance. Avoid sharp bends, pinching under cable ties, or routing near high-voltage conductors.
