Tripp Lite N261-S6N-YW network ethernet cable

SKU CH-X0JN-9ZE6M MPN N261-S6N-YW

A 15 cm Cat6a patch cord with snagless RJ45 plugs carries 10 GbE and PoE in tight racks

  • 6 in length fits tight server racks
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • PoE capability powers compatible devices directly
  • Slim profile improves airflow in dense patches
  • Snagless molded boots protect RJ45 connectors

Ideal for high-density 10 GbE links

This Cat6a cable connects network devices such as servers, switches, routers and printers in crowded racks. The slim profile improves airflow and simplifies cable management in tight spaces. It supports Power over Ethernet for cameras, VoIP phones and access-control units. The 15 cm length suits patch-panel-to-switch runs.

Check connector type and category rating

Verify that both endpoints use RJ45 ports and require Category 6a performance. Confirm the 15 cm reach matches the distance between your patch panel and active gear. Ensure the connected hardware supports 10 GbE speeds to use the full bandwidth. PoE devices must be IEEE-compliant to receive power through this cable.

Slim build aids cooling and reduces bulk

The narrow jacket allows tighter bundles without restricting airflow around active equipment. Moulded snagless boots protect the latch during frequent moves in dense racks. Copper conductors handle 10 GbE traffic and PoE current without excessive heating. The design keeps power draw limited to the attached PoE load.

Questions about this item

What connectors are on each end of the N261-S6N-YW cable?

Both ends have RJ45 male connectors for plugging into standard network ports on switches, routers, servers or PoE devices.

Does the 6‑inch length suit my rack or desk setup?

At 6 inches (15 cm) this slim Cat6a patch cord is built for tight, high‑density patch panels or side‑by‑side device ports where longer cables would block airflow.

What does the 10G rating mean for my LAN?

The cable meets Cat6a specifications, so it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over its full 6‑inch run when used with 10G‑capable hardware.
