20-foot Cat6a shielded patch cable

The Tripp Lite N262-020-BL is a 20-foot Cat6a shielded twisted-pair cable built for 10 Gbps data, voice and video links. It supports Power over Ethernet for devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras and point-of-sale kiosks. The blue PVC jacket covers 26 AWG four-pair stranded copper conductors. Snagless RJ45 male connectors protect locking tabs during installation.

Shielded construction reduces EMI and RFI

Premium shielding protects the Ethernet network from disruptive EMI and RFI line noise that can distort or destroy data. The design reduces impedance and structural return loss compared to standard 100 MHz wire. Stranded copper construction minimizes near-end crosstalk levels for reliable signal quality. Integral strain relief with ridges adds flexibility and reduces stress on the connectors during normal use.

Snagless connectors and strain relief aid installs

Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent broken locking tabs when routing the cable through tight spaces. Integral strain relief with ridges on each end gives extra flexibility and helps the cable and connectors move freely without cracking. The cable is tested and certified for 10 Gbps performance. Buyers needing longer runs or different colour coding for cable management will need a different length or colour variant.

Questions about this item

How do I route the 20 ft cable without snapping the locking tabs on the RJ45 connectors?

The snagless RJ45 connectors have a protective boot that covers the locking tabs; push the connector straight into the port until it clicks, then pull the boot back if you need to release it — never yank the cable sideways.

Will the 26 AWG stranded copper conductors or the PVC jacket need replacement after a few years of PoE use?

The 26 AWG 4-pair stranded copper and rugged PVC jacket are rated for the life of the installation; no scheduled conductor or jacket replacement is required under normal PoE loads.

At what length does the 10 Gbps certified performance start to degrade on this 20 ft run?

The cable is 10 Gbps certified at its full 20 ft length, so sustained 10 Gbps traffic will not hit a length-related limit on this run.
