Features

Cat6 Cable Ideal for Your High-Density Gigabit Ethernet Network
This Cat6 1G Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors is recommended for connecting network components like printers, computers, copiers, routers, servers, modems, hubs and switches in high-density data centers and network closets. Designed for fast transmission and excellent signal quality, the N201L-2P5M-BL ensures peak performance throughout your LAN.

Supports Power over Ethernet to Save You Money and Give You More Installation Choices
Because this Cat6 cable supports PoE, it can supply the power to operate compatible PoE devices, such as security cameras, VoIP telephones, point-of-sale kiosks and access control devices. This saves you the expense and effort of purchasing, connecting and installing individual power supplies for each device. It also helps you install PoE devices in areas far away from AC outlets, such as poles or ceilings.

Snagless RJ45 Male Connectors Add Extra Protection During Installation
The RJ45 connectors’ snagless design protects the locking tabs from being damaged or broken off during installation. Integral strain relief gives the N201L-2P5M-BL extra flexibility, reduces stress and helps the cable move freely without cracking or breaking loose from the connector.

Blue Jacket Helps Avoid Misidentification That Can Cause Costly Downtime
The cable has a blue LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen, ideal in poorly ventilated environments) jacket, which is easy to identify quickly in a crowded patch panel or switch and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected.

N201L-2P5M-BL Gigabit Snagless Molded UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), Blue, 2.5 m (8.2 ft.)

RoHS compliant PoE compatible

Questions & Answers

Molded and snagless cables both feature identical RJ-45 termination styles and offer equivalent performance.

  • Molded cables bond the RJ-45 connector and cable with a molded boot, leaving the connector's lock exposed. They are best suited for environments with few connection/reconnection cycles, such as areas that are difficult to reach.
  • Snagless cables have a protective flap on the boot to safeguard the RJ-45 connector's lock, making them ideal for settings where the plug is frequently unplugged.

You should not need to choose between molded and snagless. Many cables have both features.
