Cat6a slim patch cable for 10 Gbps networks
This Tripp Lite N261-S10-BL is a 10 ft Category 6a UTP patch cable built for 10 Gbps Ethernet. The 28 AWG stranded copper construction is 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a cables, improving airflow in dense racks. RJ45 male connectors on both ends feature 50-micron gold plating and a snagless molded boot that protects the locking tabs during installation. It supports frequencies up to 650 MHz for reduced near-end crosstalk.
Suited for high-density racks
The slim profile makes it ideal for crowded patch panels, switches and server cabinets where space and airflow are tight. The snagless boot helps prevent tab breakage when cables are routed through cable managers or tight pathways. Buyers who need longer runs beyond 10 ft or prefer thicker conductors for lower insertion loss in noisy environments should look at standard-diameter Cat6a or Cat6 cables instead.
10 ft length fixes the maximum run for this cable
At exactly 10 ft this patch cable is designed for short connections between adjacent rack equipment. If the distance between your devices exceeds 10 ft you will need a longer cable or a different cable run strategy.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 10 ft length or a different size for my rack?
The 10 ft Cat6a patch cable is over 38% slimmer than standard Cat6a, improving airflow in full racks while reaching printers, servers, switches and other gear at 10 Gbps.
What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed?
The four-pair 28 AWG stranded copper construction supports 10 Gbps data, voice and video throughput across the 10 ft run, with gold-plated RJ45 contacts reducing near-end crosstalk to 650 MHz.
Is the RJ45 connector standard Cat6a or a different interface?
Both ends use standard RJ45 male plugs with 50-micron gold plating and a snagless molded boot that protects the locking tab during repeated insertions in high-density patch panels.
