Tripp Lite N261-050-GY network ethernet cable Cat6a 10G 50 ft 15.2 m Gray

Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G 50 ft Network Cable

This 50-foot Cat6a cable with RJ45 male connectors delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance for high-density networks. It supports Power over Ethernet so compatible devices like cameras or VoIP phones can operate without separate power supplies. Snagless molded boots protect the locking tabs during installation and 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer. The gray UTP cable suits switches, servers, routers, patch panels and other network equipment.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Ideal for installers running 10 GbE links up to 50 feet in data centers, network closets or PoE deployments where a single cable carries both data and power. Not suited for runs longer than 50 feet, outdoor or direct-burial environments, or installations requiring shielded cable for high EMI areas. Buyers needing different lengths, colors or connector styles should consider other options.

Deciding specification: Cat6a 10G rating at 50 ft

The Cat6a 10G rating at 50 ft determines whether this cable meets your bandwidth and distance requirements. If your network operates at 10 Gigabit speeds within this length, the cable is specified for that performance. If you need longer 10 GbE runs, a different cable category or active solution is required. This single specification decides if the N261-050-GY is the right part for your link.
