Short black Cat6a Ethernet cable with slim snagless RJ45 connectors, 6 inches long

Tripp Lite

Tripp Lite N261-S6N-BK network ethernet cable

SKU CH-J971-WYTPQ MPN N261-S6N-BK

A 6-inch Cat6a cable with RJ45 connectors for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links, supporting PoE and featuring a slim design 38% smaller than standard Cat6a for better airflow in dense racks

  • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet for fast network transmission
  • Powers compatible PoE devices without separate power supplies
  • Slim design is 38% smaller diameter for improved airflow
  • 6-inch (15 cm) length suits high-density rack installations
  • Snagless molded connectors protect RJ45 tabs during frequent changes

Compact Cat6a Link for Dense Racks

This six-inch Cat6a patch cord connects servers, switches, routers and other RJ45 equipment in high-density racks and network closets. Its slim profile reduces bulk where space is tight. The cable is rated for 10 gigabit Ethernet and carries Power over Ethernet to compatible endpoints. It suits administrators who need short, reliable links between adjacent ports.

15 cm Length Decides Fit

The fixed 15 cm length is the single specification that determines whether this cord reaches between two devices in your rack. It eliminates slack but cannot span wider gaps or cross cabinet boundaries. Buyers who need longer runs or patch-panel-to-wall-plate distances must choose a different length.

PoE Support Frees Device Placement

Because the cable transmits both data and power, PoE cameras, VoIP phones and access-control units can be mounted away from AC outlets without separate power injectors. The 38 percent smaller diameter improves airflow around dense switch stacks and eases cable management in crowded trays. It requires only standard RJ45 ports on both ends.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when the cable is plugged into a switch or server?

The Cat6a construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds across the full 15 cm length, so a switch or server port will negotiate the full 10 Gbps link without bottleneck.

Which connector standard is used and what does it limit in practice?

Both ends use RJ45 male plugs, so the cable fits any standard Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet port but cannot exceed the 10 Gbps ceiling of the Cat6a specification.

How much space does the slim design need behind a patch panel or in a dense rack?

The cable is 38 percent smaller in diameter than a standard Cat6a patch cord, reducing clutter and improving airflow in tight cabinet spaces.
