Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G cable

The Tripp Lite N261-005-YW is a Category 6a network cable built for 10 Gbps Ethernet links. It connects switches, patch panels, servers, routers, hubs, printers, computers and security devices with a standard RJ45 male connector on each end.

Snagless moulded strain relief

The snagless moulded boots protect the retaining clips during insertion and removal, reducing the chance of broken tabs that cause intermittent connections. Unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible for routing in tight cabinet spaces.

Yellow jacket for quick identification

The yellow PVC jacket helps technicians trace this 5 ft (1.5 m) run among other cables in a rack or wall plate. PoE support allows the same cable to deliver power to compatible access points, cameras or VoIP phones without a separate supply.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the snagless RJ45 plugs on this 5 ft Cat6a cable without damaging the latch?

Press the snagless boot down while inserting the RJ45 plug into the port until you hear a click; pulling straight out without depressing the tab is the step most people get wrong.

What maintenance or replacement will this yellow 5 ft patch cable need over time?

Inspect the molded boots and jackets for cracks or kinks; replace the cable if the snagless latch breaks or the conductors show corrosion.

What limit appears first when running 10 Gbps PoE traffic continuously through this 1.5 m Cat6a link?

The 5 ft length keeps insertion loss well within Cat6a margins, so the connected switch or NIC port capacity becomes the first bottleneck.
