Tripp Lite Cat6a 2 ft Patch Cable

This two‑foot Cat6a patch cable connects network devices, switches, patch panels, servers, routers, hubs, printers, computers, copiers, modems and security cameras. Snagless moulded boots protect the RJ45 male connectors during frequent reconnections. The yellow jacket makes the link easy to trace in dense racks. It supports Power over Ethernet for compatible endpoints.

Suits Short Runs Only

The 2 ft length reaches only equipment that sits side by side or in the same rack unit. Installers who need to span cabinets, cross rooms or reach wall outlets should choose a longer cable. Builders requiring shielded or outdoor‑rated jackets must select a different product. This cable is not intended for permanent in‑wall installation.

Category 6a 10 Gbps Rating

The single specification that decides fit is the Cat6a 10 Gbps performance rating. It guarantees the bandwidth and crosstalk margins needed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to the full channel length when the rest of the link meets the same standard. Without this rating the cable cannot reliably carry 10 Gbps traffic.

Questions about this item

Will the RJ-45 connectors need replacing after repeated plugging?

The snagless molded boots protect the latch on each RJ-45 plug, reducing wear from frequent insertion and removal.

What limits the 10 Gbps throughput on a 2 ft run?

The cable is rated for Cat6a 10G performance, so the connected switch or NIC port determines the actual speed ceiling.

Does the slim UTP construction run hotter when carrying PoE all day?

The unshielded twisted-pair design handles standard PoE loads at this length without measurable temperature rise.
