Tripp Lite N262-S05-YW Cat6a 10G Shielded Slim STP network ethernet cable 5 ft

SKU CH-CRNV-M937N MPN N262-S05-YW

A Cat6a shielded cable running 10 Gbps over 5 ft with a 38 % slimmer profile for dense racks and PoE gear

  • Length5 ft.
  • Cat6a rating enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • Shielded STP construction protects signal quality in dense racks
  • PoE support powers compatible devices without extra adapters
  • Slim profile reduces diameter by 38 percent for better airflow
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors simplify installation in tight spaces

High-density 10 Gigabit Cat6a cable

This 5 ft Category 6a shielded twisted-pair cable uses RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between servers, switches, routers, printers, computers, modems, hubs, photocopiers and patch panels in data centres or network closets. The yellow jacket aids visual identification in dense racks.

Replaces bulkier Cat6a patch cords

The slim design is more than 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a cable, improving airflow and reducing clutter in tight spaces. Upgrade when existing cables block ventilation or make cable management difficult in high-density cabinets. The snagless boots protect the locking tabs during frequent reconnects.

Check connector spacing and PoE needs

Verify that the 5 ft length reaches between your devices without tension and that the reduced diameter fits your cable-management channels. Confirm the connected equipment supports Power over Ethernet if you intend to power cameras, VoIP phones, POS kiosks or access-control units through the same cable. The cable is rated for 10 Gbps transmission.

Questions about this item

Will the 5 ft slim cable fit in a high-density patch panel without blocking adjacent ports?

The cable is more than 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a, improving airflow and reducing clutter in tight spaces.

How do I install the RJ45 connectors on this shielded cable without damaging the snagless boot?

Align the connector tab with the port, push straight in until the snagless boot clicks, and avoid twisting the slim jacket during insertion.

When should I replace this Cat6a cable if it carries PoE power to a ceiling-mounted access point?

Inspect the RJ45 contacts and jacket annually; replace if the snagless boot cracks, shielding is exposed, or PoE devices show intermittent power.
