Tripp Lite N201-S6N-GY Cat6 Utp Patch Cable Gray

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N201-S6N-GY is a Cat6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable finished in gray. Patch cables of this type carry structured network data signals between switches, patch panels, routers, and end-device network ports. The Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and bandwidth up to 250 MHz, making this cable a standard choice for both new installs and quick service replacements. At 6 inches in length, this cable is suited for short, tight runs inside server racks, patch panels, or network enclosures where cable management space is limited. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors are the primary installers.

This patch cable is used in structured cabling systems for commercial and residential network installations. The 6-inch length is particularly practical for rack-mounted equipment where ports are in close proximity, such as patch panel to switch connections within the same rack unit or adjacent rack units. The gray jacket provides easy visual differentiation when color-coded cable management practices are in use.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable for Cat6 structured cabling systems using standard 8P8C RJ45 patch panel ports and network device interfaces.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle Cat6 patch cable installation. No tools are required for connecting pre-terminated patch cables. Verify that both termination points are powered down or that hot-swap procedures comply with site network maintenance policies before replacing an active link. Follow TIA-568 structured cabling standards for proper patch cord routing and bend radius guidelines.
