Patch cable length and category

This Tripp Lite N201-003-RD is a 3 ft Category 6 network patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. The red jacket provides easy colour coding in dense patch panels or desk runs. It is built with snagless molded boots to protect the locking tabs during frequent moves.

Suitable for short gigabit links, not for long runs

The 3 ft length suits rack-to-switch jumpers, wall-plate-to-device drops or temporary bench testing where a short reach keeps cable management tidy. Installers needing longer horizontal runs, outdoor-rated jackets or plenum-rated fire performance should select a different cable type.

Category 6 rating up to 550 MHz

The cable is specified for stable performance up to 550 MHz, meeting the Category 6 standard for gigabit Ethernet throughput. This single bandwidth figure determines whether the link will support the required data rate for the intended application.

Questions about this item

Will the 3 ft length reach from my wall jack to a desktop switch?

The cable is 3 ft long, so measure the exact path between your wall jack and the switch; allow slack for routing around furniture or through cable-management channels.

How do I seat the RJ45 plugs without damaging the snagless boots?

Push each RJ45 connector straight into the port until you hear a click; the molded snagless boot protects the latch, so avoid rocking the plug side-to-side during insertion.

When should I replace this Cat 6 patch cable?

Replace it if the jacket shows cuts or kinks, the snagless boots crack, or the RJ45 latches no longer click securely, since physical damage can drop the 550 MHz rated performance.
