6-Inch Cat6 Patch Cable

This Tripp Lite N201-06N-BK is a 6-inch Cat6 UTP patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for Gigabit Ethernet connections in black. The short length suits tight links between adjacent ports.

Suits High-Density Rack Patching

The 6-inch reach fits server-to-switch or panel-to-panel links inside crowded cabinets. Installers needing longer runs between racks or across rooms should select a different cable length.

5.9-Inch Overall Length

The cable measures 5.9 inches end to end, a dimension that determines whether it reaches between two specific ports in your enclosure. Verify the port spacing before ordering.

Questions about this item

Does the 6-inch Cat6 cable generate any heat or draw measurable power when running at 1 Gbps all day?

The cable is a passive copper assembly with no active electronics, so it produces no measurable heat and draws no power regardless of continuous 1 Gbps traffic.

What devices must I already own to use this RJ45 male-to-male patch cord?

You need two pieces of equipment that each provide a standard RJ45 female port — for example a computer, router, switch, server, modem or network adapter.

Will this 550 MHz Cat6 cable work reliably with older 10/100 Mbps gear I still have?

Yes, the Cat6 cable is fully backward compatible and will negotiate down to 10 or 100 Mbps on legacy ports without any configuration.
