Tripp Lite Cat6 Gigabit Snagless Molded UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, LSZH, Blue, 5 m (16.4 ft.)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N201L-05M-BL is a Cat6 Ethernet cable designed to provide stable gigabit network connections in environments such as offices, classrooms, and server rooms. With a length of five meters (16.4 feet), it offers a practical reach for connecting devices across racks, desks, or ceiling mounts without excess cable clutter. The cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps and bandwidth up to 500 MHz, ensuring smooth handling of large files, HD video streams, and voice traffic even during busy network periods.

Its low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) blue jacket enhances safety by minimizing harmful fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for data centers and public spaces. The cable also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and power to devices like security cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, reducing the need for separate power sources.
