Tripp Lite N204-S05-BL-UP Slim Cat6 Patch Cable 5 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N204-S05-BL-UP is a slim Cat6 patch cable designed for high-density network installations where standard cables create congestion or restrict airflow. Measuring 5 feet in length, it features a 90-degree upward-angled connector on one end and a 180-degree straight connector on the other. This configuration is built for structured cabling environments where cable management and tight bend radius clearance are critical concerns. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable in patch panels, switches, and server rack deployments where organized cable runs are a priority.

This patch cable is suited for enterprise data centers, server rooms, telecom closets, and high-density patch panel installations. The slim jacket profile reduces bundle diameter, making it easier to route multiple cables through cable managers and trays without excess bulk. The angled connector helps relieve strain on port-side connections in confined rack spaces, particularly in top-of-rack switch deployments or wall-mount enclosures where cable entry direction matters.

Key Features

• 5-foot length suits short rack-to-rack and panel-to-switch runs
• 90-degree up-angle connector on one end reduces port strain in tight spaces
• 180-degree straight connector on the opposite end for standard port entry
• Slim Cat6 jacket profile minimizes cable bundle diameter in high-density installations
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded cable management practices

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with Cat6-compatible RJ45 ports on switches, patch panels, routers, and network interface cards in residential and commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify the angled connector orientation matches the intended port entry direction before seating the cable. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the slim jacket during routing to maintain Cat6 performance. Do not force connectors into ports at angles other than the designed entry direction.
