Slim Cat6 Cable for Dense Racks

The Tripp Lite N201-S05-BL is a 5 ft Cat6 patch cable built for high-density installations. It uses 28 AWG stranded copper conductors and snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends. The cable is rated for 350 MHz bandwidth and 1 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet performance.

For Tight Panels Not Long Runs

This cable suits technicians routing connections through crowded patch panels or cable management arms where space is limited. Its diameter is over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6 and more than 25% smaller than typical Cat5e. Buyers needing longer reach or permanent in-wall installation should look at solid-core alternatives.

Push-Tab Release Prevents Snags

The moulded boots protect the locking tabs so they do not catch on adjacent cables during insertion or removal. Simply depress the tab to disconnect without damaging the port or the connector. The slim 28 AWG construction bends easily but offers less tensile strength than thicker cables, so avoid pulling hard on the cord itself.

Questions about this item

What devices need RJ45 ports to use this Cat6 patch cable?

Any network device with a standard RJ45 jack — routers, switches, modems, servers, printers, or computers — will accept the male RJ45 connectors on both ends.

Will the 28 AWG slim cable work reliably alongside older Cat5e runs in the same rack?

Yes, the cable is rated for Cat6 Gigabit performance up to 350 MHz and its 28 AWG stranded copper construction maintains signal quality next to Cat5e without crosstalk issues.

How can I confirm the link is running at Gigabit speed after plugging it in?

Verify the port LEDs show a solid 1 Gbps connection and run a local throughput test; sustained rates near the rated 1 Gbps confirm the cable is operating as specified.
