Tripp Lite N262-S06-BK Cat6a 10G Shielded Slim STP Network Ethernet Cable 6 ft

SKU CH-BFJ0-3PPFZ MPN N262-S06-BK

A 6 ft shielded Cat6a cable with RJ45 connectors for 10 Gb Ethernet and PoE devices

  • Length6 ft.
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • Shielded STP construction protects signal quality in dense racks
  • Slim profile improves airflow and eases cable management
  • Power over Ethernet capability runs compatible devices without extra adapters
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors prevent tab damage during frequent moves

High-Density 10 Gigabit Connection

This Cat6a shielded cable delivers 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance for servers, switches, routers and patch panels in dense network closets. The 6 ft length suits short rack runs while maintaining signal integrity. It supports Power over Ethernet for cameras, VoIP phones and access-control devices, removing the need for separate power supplies. The slim profile improves airflow and simplifies routing in tight spaces.

Verify Port Type and Cable Rating

Confirm both endpoints use RJ45 jacks rated for Cat6a or higher to achieve the stated throughput. Check that your switch or server ports negotiate 10 Gbps and that any PoE devices match the cable's power delivery capability. Ensure the installation path accommodates the 6 ft reach without tension on the connectors.

Fits Standard Rack Layouts

The slim STP construction reduces bulk in cable managers and leaves room for neighbouring patch cords. Shielding protects against EMI in crowded cabinets, while the snagless boot prevents latch damage during frequent changes. PoE support frees up AC outlets for non-PoE gear, and the black jacket aids quick visual identification in colour-coded looms.

Questions about this item

Does the 6 ft Cat6a cable come with both RJ45 connectors already attached, or do I need to buy plugs separately?

The cable is supplied with an RJ45 male connector on each end, so no additional plugs are required.

Should I choose this 6 ft length or a different length for a 10 GbE link between a server and a switch?

At 6 ft (1.8 m) the cable meets Cat6a specifications for 10 GbE, so it is suitable for short rack or desk connections; select a longer version only if the run exceeds this distance.

Will the slim shielded design still deliver the full 10 GbE throughput when routed through a dense patch panel?

Yes, the Cat6a rating guarantees 10 GbE performance and the slim STP construction is built for high-density installations without signal degradation.
