Tripp Lite Cat6 patch cable

The Tripp Lite N201-002-RD is a two-foot Category 6 patch cable terminated with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. Its red PVC jacket and snagless, moulded boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertion and removal. The cable is rated for Gigabit Ethernet performance and remains backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat5 networks. Lifetime limited warranty coverage is included by the manufacturer.

Ideal for short Gigabit links, not long runs

This cable suits installers and home users who need a short, reliable connection between a router, switch, patch panel or wall jack and a desktop, laptop, console or access point. The bright red colour aids quick cable identification in dense racks or behind entertainment units. Builders requiring longer horizontal runs, plenum-rated jackets, shielded construction or outdoor-rated sheathing should select a different cable type.

Two-foot length decides fit

At exactly two feet the N201-002-RD bridges only adjacent ports or devices sitting side by side on a bench. Measure the exact path the cable must follow before ordering; any route that exceeds this length will need a longer patch lead or an in-wall installation with solid-core cable.

Questions about this item

Will this 2 ft Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e router and switch ports?

Yes, the cable is built to Category 6 specification and is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 equipment, so it will connect to your existing RJ45 ports without issues.

How can I verify the cable is delivering gigabit speeds after I plug it in?

Check the link speed in your operating system network settings or router status page; it should report 1 Gbps full duplex when both ends are connected to gigabit-capable ports.

Does the package include only the red 2 ft patch cable or are there extra connectors or tools?

The box contains the single 2 ft Cat6 UTP patch cable with molded RJ45 male connectors on both ends; no additional connectors, couplers or installation tools are supplied.
