SKU CH-7V4V-8BWK0 MPN N262-S06-YW

A 6 ft Category 6a shielded slim Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors for 10 Gbps networking and PoE devices

  • Length6 ft.
  • Cat6a rating supports 10 Gbps networking speeds
  • Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference
  • Slim profile eases routing in tight spaces
  • Snagless boot protects RJ45 latch during handling
  • Yellow jacket simplifies cable identification

What this cable does

The Tripp Lite N262-S06-YW is a six-foot Category 6a shielded Ethernet cable built for gigabit and 10 gigabit networks. It connects servers, switches, routers, printers, computers, PoE devices and patch panels. The yellow jacket makes it easy to identify in a crowded rack or patch panel.

Category 6a rating decides suitability

This cable is rated for 10 gigabit per second transmission, so it supports 10GBASE-T links up to the full channel distance. If your installation only requires one gigabit, a lower-category cable will work, but it will not give you the headroom for future 10G upgrades.

Slim shielded construction for heat and noise

The slim shielded twisted-pair design reduces alien crosstalk in dense bundles, keeping signal quality stable under load. It carries Power over Ethernet current without overheating, and the snagless boots protect the RJ-45 tabs during repeated insertion and removal.

Questions about this item

Will this cable deliver 10 Gbps to a server or switch in a real installation?

The Cat6a rating supports 10 Gbps over the full 6 ft length, so a server, switch or PoE device will negotiate the full speed provided the ports are also 10 Gbps capable.

What does the RJ45 interface cap at in practice?

Each end uses an RJ-45 male connector rated for Cat6a, so the practical ceiling is 10 Gbps Ethernet and Power over Ethernet up to the standard the connected equipment supports.

How much space does the slim shielded jacket need behind a patch panel or wall plate?

The slim STP construction reduces diameter compared to standard Cat6a, allowing tighter bends and easier routing in crowded panels or shallow wall boxes.
