Tripp Lite N200-003-BK Cat6 network ethernet cable 3 ft

SKU CH-XKF6-P5F4D MPN N200-003-BK

A 3 ft Cat6 patch cable with gold-plated RJ45 connectors rated for 550 MHz and 1 Gbps Ethernet

  • TypeConsumer Electronics
  • Cat6
  • Connector ARJ45 (MALE)
  • Connector BRJ45 (MALE)
  • Length3 ft.
  • ColorBlack
  • Supports 1 Gbps speeds with 550 MHz bandwidth rating
  • Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for reliable signal transfer
  • 24 AWG stranded conductors ensure flexibility and durability
  • Molded strain relief protects connectors from bending damage
  • Three-foot length suits tight desktop or rack spaces

Ideal for home and office networks

This Cat6 patch cable links computers, printers, consoles and routers in Cat5, Cat5e or Cat6 installations. The three-foot length suits short runs between a wall jack and a desktop device. Gold-plated contacts and a moulded strain-relief boot protect the connection during frequent moves.

Rated for 550 MHz and 1 Gbps

The 24 AWG stranded UTP construction carries 1000Base-T, 100Base-TX, 155 Mbps ATM and voice signals without error. Headroom exists for current Gigabit Ethernet, but the cable cannot support 10 Gbps or higher speeds that require Cat6a or better.

Male RJ45 connectors on both ends

Every termination uses a standard eight-position plug compatible with any RJ45 jack. No crossover wiring is present, so the cable will not directly link two similar NICs without a switch or router in between.

Questions about this item

Will this 3 ft Cat6 cable work with my older Cat5e router and 100 Mbps switch?

Yes, the Cat6 patch cord is backward compatible with Cat5 and Cat5e hardware, so it will link your 100 Mbps switch and router at their rated speeds.

How can I confirm the 550 MHz rated cable is delivering a full 1 Gbps link after I plug it in?

Check the connection LEDs on both ports; a steady gigabit indicator or a 1000 Mbps status in your OS network settings shows the 1 Gbps link is active.

Does the box include only the 3 ft black patch cord with gold-plated RJ45 connectors, or are any couplers or wall plates supplied?

The package contains the single 3 ft Cat6 molded patch cable with male RJ45 ends; no couplers, wall plates or additional accessories are included.
