Product Identity

The Tripp Lite N261-S20-BK is a twenty-foot Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission for standard networking tasks. The snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during repeated connections. Its slim black jacket allows easier routing in dense cable runs.

Intended Use and Limits

This cable suits installers linking switches, routers, servers, printers or workstations in a 10GBASE-T network where a twenty-foot reach is sufficient. It is not for buyers who need shielded construction for high-interference environments. It is not for runs that exceed the twenty-foot length supplied. It is not for outdoor or direct-burial installations.

Deciding Specification

The Category 6a rating is the single specification that determines whether this cable meets the 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance requirement over the full twenty-foot distance. A lower category cable would not guarantee the same bandwidth headroom. The unshielded design keeps the cable flexible for tight pathways while still delivering the rated throughput.

Questions about this item

Which length should I choose for my 10 GbE run?

This cable is 20 ft long; pick the length that matches the distance between your devices without excess slack.

What speed will I actually get from the Cat6a rating on this cable?

The Cat6a construction supports 10 GbE, so the link will negotiate up to 10 Gbps when both ends are 10 GbE capable.

How does the RJ45 connector limit the cable's performance?

The RJ45 male plugs are the standard interface for Cat6a and do not impose any lower cap than the cable's own 10 GbE rating.
