3 ft Cat6a 10G Snagless Patch Cable

The Tripp Lite N261-003-BK is a three-foot augmented Category 6a unshielded twisted-pair patch cable terminated with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 gigabit per second Ethernet links in home offices, small-business networks and data-centre patch panels. The black jacket and snagless boot design simplify routing through dense cable managers without catching on adjacent leads.

Installers needing a short certified 10G link

This cable suits installers who need a short, factory-tested 10G link between a switch port and a server, workstation or wall jack. It is not for runs that exceed the three-foot length supplied, nor for outdoor or direct-burial installations that require a gel-filled or UV-rated jacket. Buyers who need shielded construction for high-EMI environments should select a different cable type.

100 % Fluke tested and ETL UL verified

Every unit passes 100 percent Fluke certification testing and carries ETL UL verification, confirming compliance with the augmented Category 6a electrical performance limits required for 10GBASE-T operation. The cable also supports IEEE 802.3af power delivery for compatible powered devices. This certification record is the single specification that determines whether the cable meets a project's 10G warranty requirements.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 3 ft length or a different size for my desk setup?

The 3 ft cable suits short runs between a switch and a wall jack on the same desk; choose a longer version only if the devices sit farther apart.

What does the 10 Gbps rating deliver when I plug this into my workstation?

It provides headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links up to the cable’s full length, so large file transfers and backups run at line speed without bottleneck.

How does the RJ45 Cat6a interface limit real-world throughput?

The RJ45 connectors and Cat6a specification cap the link at 10 Gbps over the 3 ft run, matching the 100 % Fluke-tested performance claim.
