Tripp Lite

Tripp Lite N262-S03-WH network ethernet cable 3 ft

SKU CH-SD92-6FF14 MPN N262-S03-WH

A 3 ft Cat6a shielded slim cable with RJ45 connectors supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet for servers, switches and PoE devices

  • Length3 ft.
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gbps network speeds
  • Shielded twisted-pair construction reduces signal interference
  • PoE capability powers compatible devices through the cable
  • Slim profile improves airflow in dense racks
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect locking tabs during installs

3 ft Cat6a cable for 10 GbE links

This three-foot Cat6a patch cable is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in dense racks or small offices. Shielded twisted-pair construction and snagless RJ45 plugs protect signal integrity when runs are bundled tightly. It suits servers, switches, routers and PoE endpoints that need a short, reliable link. The slim profile eases routing in crowded panels.

Sustained 10 GbE throughput with PoE support

Shielding and Cat6a-rated conductors maintain 10 GbE speeds over the full length without the drop-off seen on lighter cables during long transfers. Power over Ethernet is carried on the same conductors, so cameras, VoIP phones or access points draw power without a separate adapter. The design keeps performance steady in high-density installations where heat and crosstalk can degrade lesser cables.

Verify connector spacing

The 3 ft length leaves little slack, so measure the exact port-to-port distance in your rack or wall box first. Confirm the receiving device accepts the PoE class your switch delivers; the cable passes whatever class is negotiated. Ensure both ends use standard RJ45 ports — no proprietary keying or recessed jacks that could block the snagless boot.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 Gbps Cat6a cable generate noticeable heat when carrying PoE power all day?

The Cat6a construction is rated for 10 Gbps data and PoE delivery without active cooling; normal operation produces negligible heat.

What equipment must already have RJ45 ports for this 3 ft cable to connect?

Both ends use standard RJ45 male plugs, so each device — switch, router, server, printer, PoE camera or access point — needs an RJ45 jack.

Will this slim Cat6a patch cord work reliably with older Cat5e or Cat6 ports on my existing switch?

Yes, the RJ45 interface is backward compatible; the cable will negotiate the highest speed both sides support, up to 10 Gbps on Cat6a links.
