Connects critical components, such as computers, network adapters, routers, servers, modems, hubs and switches, in Gigabit Ethernet networks. Recommended for distributing data, voice and video in high-density data centers.

  • Rated for 550 MHz/1 Gbps communications
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect against broken tabs
  • Meets Cat6 TIA/EIA standards
  • High-quality 24 AWG solid copper wire
  • Reduces impedance and structural return loss

Overview

The N201-020-PU Cat6 Gigabit Snagless Molded UTP Patch Cable (M/M) is recommended for distributing data, voice and video through computers, network adapters, routers, servers, modems, hubs and switches in high-density data centers. Designed for fast transmission and excellent signal quality, this 20-ft. (6.09 m) purple cable ensures peak performance throughout your local area network (LAN). It reduces impedance and structural return loss compared to standard 100 MHz wire.

Manufactured from 24 AWG copper wire and protected by a rugged PVC jacket, the four-pair solid UTP N201-020-PU delivers speeds up to 550 MHz/1 Gbps with minimal near-end crosstalk (NeXT). The RJ45 short-body connectors' snagless design protects the locking tabs from being damaged or broken off during installation. Integral strain relief with ridges on each end gives the cable extra flexibility, reduces stress, and helps the cable and connectors move freely without cracking. The N201-020-PU meets Cat6 cabling standards.

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.
