What this cable is and who uses it

The Tripp Lite N201-006-RD is a six-foot Category 6 patch cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. Red stranded conductors are encased in a molded, snagless, booted jacket designed for everyday network device connections.

Who it suits and who should look elsewhere

This cable fits standard gigabit Ethernet runs between routers, switches, PCs and other network devices where a short, flexible red lead is convenient. Installers who need longer reaches, outdoor ratings, shielded construction or higher-category performance for multi-gigabit links will need a different product.

The specification that decides fit

Category 6 rating and 6 ft length are the key figures; they determine whether the cable meets the bandwidth and distance requirements of your specific network installation.

Questions about this item

Will the 6 ft length and RJ-45 connectors reach my wall jack and router?

The cable measures 6 ft end-to-end with RJ-45 male plugs on both ends, so it spans that distance directly.

Do I need to remove the snagless boots before plugging the connectors into my ports?

No — the moulded boots are part of the plug; just push the RJ-45 straight in until it clicks.

Will the stranded conductors hold up if I move the cable around my desk often?

Yes, the stranded wire is built for frequent flexing, and the moulded boots protect the contact pins over time.
