Detailed Specifications
Eaton N201-S8N-BK Tripp Lite 8inch Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N201-S8N-BK is an 8-inch Cat6 unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for short connections between switches, servers, patch panels, routers, and other network equipment in high-density data-center and network-rack environments.
The cable supports Gigabit Ethernet up to 1 Gbps and uses 28 AWG stranded copper conductors. Its slim construction is more than 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6 cable, helping reduce cable congestion and improve airflow in crowded racks and cable-management panels.
The N201-S8N-BK supports PoE and PoE+ and uses snagless RJ45 connectors to help prevent locking-tab damage during installation. Its 8-inch length is intended for very short equipment interconnects; shielded cabling or longer patch leads are required where those characteristics are specifically needed.
Key Features
- Cat6 Gigabit support provides up to 1 Gbps connectivity
- Slim 28 AWG design reduces cable bulk in dense racks
- UTP construction suits standard Ethernet patching
- Snagless RJ45 connectors protect tabs during installation
- PoE and PoE+ support compatible powered network devices
