Tripp Lite Cat6a 6-inch Ethernet Cable

This Tripp Lite N261-06N-BL is a Category 6a patch cable measuring 6 inches (15 cm) with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It features a snagless molded boot design and blue UTP construction. The cable supports Power over Ethernet and 10 Gbps data rates for short-run connections.

Suited for dense patch panels

Installers linking a switch to a patch panel, server, router, hub, printer, computer, photocopier, modem, or security camera in the same rack benefit from the minimal length. Builders needing longer horizontal runs or crossover wiring should select a different cable assembly.

Category 6a rating for 10 Gbps short links

The Cat6a classification confirms the cable meets the performance requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over this 6-inch distance. This single specification determines whether the part matches the required network speed for the installation.

Questions about this item

Does the 6-inch length create any signal loss or heat when running 10 Gbps PoE all day?

The 6-inch Cat6a cable is rated for 10 Gbps and supports PoE, so it handles continuous full-speed power and data without extra loss or heat.

What devices must I already have to use the RJ45 male connectors on this patch lead?

You need two pieces of equipment with standard RJ45 ports — such as a switch, router, server, patch panel, hub, printer, modem, security camera or computer.

Will this Cat6a lead work reliably with my older Cat5e patch panel and Gigabit switch?

Yes, the Cat6a cable is backward compatible and will negotiate down to Gigabit speeds on your existing Cat5e panel and switch.
