Slim Cat6a Patch Cable

The Tripp Lite N261-S01-BL is a one-foot Cat6a UTP patch cable built for high-density network connections. Its slender profile suits administrators wiring servers, switches, routers and patch panels in crowded racks. The blue jacket aids quick visual identification among other links. It delivers a straightforward link for Gigabit and 10 Gbps Ethernet runs.

Build and Connector Design

Over 38 percent slimmer than standard Cat6a cable, it routes easily through management panels and around tight corners. Molded snagless boots shield the RJ45 locking tabs from breakage during repeated insertion and removal. The 28 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for frequent re-patching. A rugged PVC jacket resists wear in busy data-centre aisles.

Practical Limits of Cat6a UTP

The cable supports Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps over its one-foot length. Unshielded construction means it remains susceptible to external electromagnetic interference in electrically noisy environments. The 28 AWG gauge introduces higher insertion loss than thicker conductors, so it is not intended for longer channel runs. Buyers needing extended distances or shielded links should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item

What speed does the Cat6a rating actually deliver on this 1 ft cable?

The Cat6a rating supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 10 Gbps over the full 1 ft length.

How much space does the slim 28 AWG design save compared with a regular Cat6a patch lead?

The cable is over 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a cable, increasing airflow and flexibility in tight racks.

What is the correct way to seat the snagless RJ45 plugs so the tabs do not break?

Push each molded boot straight in until you hear a click; the snagless hood protects the locking tab from catching during removal.
