Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6a 10G Shielded Slim Ethernet Cable, Blue, 1 ft

Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Blue, 1 ft. (0.3 m)

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N262-S01-BL Cat6a shielded twisted pair (STP) Ethernet cable is designed for high-performance network environments requiring reliable 10 Gbps data transmission. This cable is ideal for connecting devices such as servers, switches, routers, printers, and other network components in data centers and crowded network closets where space and airflow are critical considerations. Its premium construction ensures maximum signal integrity and minimal interference, making it a dependable choice for high-density networks.
This cable features a specially engineered slim design, reducing the diameter by over 38% compared to standard Cat6a cables, which enhances airflow within racks and improves cooling efficiency. The smaller profile simplifies installation around tight corners and through cable management panels, helping to reduce clutter and streamline network setup. The cable's blue PVC jacket provides quick visual identification, minimizing connection errors and reducing downtime caused by mispatching.
Supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE), this cable enables the deployment of powered devices such as security cameras, VoIP phones, and access control systems in locations far from AC outlets. This capability reduces the need for additional power supplies, lowering overall installation costs and complexity. The cable's shielding effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which can otherwise compromise data integrity and hardware performance. The shielded design ensures cleaner signals and longer-lasting equipment.
Constructed with 28 AWG copper conductors and equipped with snagless RJ45 connectors, the Eaton N262-S01-BL provides durable, secure connections while protecting the locking tabs from damage during installation. The connectors' shielding minimizes near-end crosstalk (NEXT), further enhancing signal quality. The cable’s integral strain relief adds flexibility and reduces stress on the connections, preventing cracks or disconnections over time. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, this cable offers peace of mind and consistent performance for mission-critical applications.
In summary, the Eaton Tripp Lite Series N262-S01-BL Cat6a shielded slim Ethernet cable combines high-speed data transfer capabilities with ease of installation, effective noise suppression, and durable construction. It is an excellent choice for network professionals seeking reliable, space-efficient cabling solutions that support PoE and maximize airflow within densely packed racks and cabinets.
