The N201-005-BL is a 5-foot Cat6 Gigabit Ethernet patch cable designed to distribute data, voice, and video in high-speed network applications. This cable delivers stable performance up to 550MHz and supports network speeds of 1 Gbps. It is constructed from 24 AWG, 4-pair stranded UTP copper wire and is terminated with male RJ45 connectors featuring a staggered-pin plug design to minimize near-end crosstalk. The molded connectors include integral strain relief and a snagless boot to protect the locking tabs during installation. It is ideal for a wide range of network applications, including 1000 Base-T (1Gbps Ethernet), and is backward compatible with Category 5e and Category 5 environments.
