Network Cable for Data Centres

The Tripp Lite N262-007-GY is a Category 6a shielded patch cable built for high-density network environments. It carries a 10 G certified rating and supports Power over Ethernet for devices such as VoIP phones and security cameras. The 7 ft gray cable uses 26 AWG stranded conductors and features snagless boots with strain relief for flexible routing. RoHS compliance confirms environmentally responsible construction.

Suitable Installations and Limits

This cable suits installers who need shielded, PoE-ready links between switches, routers, patch panels and compatible endpoints in structured cabling systems. The STP design reduces impedance and structural return loss compared with standard 100 MHz wire. Buyers who require longer runs, unshielded UTP construction, or a different colour jacket should look at alternative cable types. The fixed 7 ft length limits use to short patch connections.

Capacity and Headroom

Rated for a 1.25 GB/s data transfer rate, the cable comfortably handles 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic across its full length. Shielding and crosstalk protection preserve signal integrity in electrically noisy racks. Performance headroom ends at the Category 6a specification ceiling; applications demanding higher bandwidth categories or extended distances beyond the certified length will need different cabling infrastructure.

Highlights

  • Shielded construction reduces EMI and RF interference for reliable data transfer
  • Snagless boots protect connector tabs during frequent moves in dense racks
  • Powers PoE devices like VoIP phones and cameras without separate supplies

Questions about this item

What network ports must my equipment provide for this cable to plug in?

Each end terminates in an RJ-45 male connector, so both devices need a standard RJ-45 network jack.

Will this 7 ft Cat6a cable work reliably with my existing Cat5e patch panel and Gigabit switch?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible and will operate at the highest speed both linked devices support.

How can I confirm the link is running at the rated 10 Gbps after I connect it?

Check the port status LEDs or your switch management interface for a 10 Gbps link indication.
