Tripp Lite N201-S02-BL 2 ft Cat6 network ethernet cable

Slim Cat6 cable for dense racks

The Tripp Lite N201-S02-BL is a two-foot Cat6 patch cable built for high-density network racks and cabinets. Its 28 AWG stranded copper conductors are over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6 cables, making routing through tight cable management panels easier. Snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends protect the locking tabs during frequent changes. The blue jacket provides quick visual identification in crowded patch fields.

Verify port spacing and length needs

Before ordering, confirm that a two-foot reach matches the distance between your switch ports and connected devices such as servers, routers, or patch panels. The reduced diameter improves airflow and access in crowded 1U or blade enclosures, but the short length limits placement flexibility. Ensure the RJ45 ports on your equipment accept standard modular plugs without requiring angled or low-profile connectors. This cable is rated for indoor UTP use only.

Replaces bulkier Cat6 or Cat5e jumpers

This cable replaces standard-diameter Cat6 or Cat5e patch cords when rack space is constrained and cable management density is a priority. The slimmer profile reduces congestion in vertical managers and improves traceability during moves, adds, and changes. The upgrade is worthwhile when existing cables obstruct airflow, block adjacent ports, or make label reading difficult. It supports the same 350 MHz and 1 Gbps performance as thicker Cat6 cables.
