Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6a 10G Shielded Slim Ethernet Cable (RJ45 Male to Male), PoE, 3 ft, Blue

Eaton Tripp Lite Series Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Blue, 3 ft. (0.9 m)

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series N262-S03-BL Cat6a shielded patch cable is designed for high-performance networking environments requiring fast data transfer and reliable connectivity. Rated for 10 Gbps speeds, this cable is ideal for connecting high-density data center components such as servers, switches, routers, and access points. Its shielded twisted pair (STP) construction effectively reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring data integrity and optimal performance in environments with high electronic noise. Manufactured from high-quality copper with a durable PVC jacket, the cable provides a robust solution for demanding network setups, with added flexibility thanks to integral strain relief that minimizes stress and prevents damage during installation. The cable's slim profile—over 38% thinner than standard Cat6a cables—promotes better airflow in crowded racks and simplifies installation in tight spaces, around corners, and through cable management panels. The blue jacket design facilitates quick identification in cluttered patch panels, reducing downtime and misconnection errors. Additionally, support for Power over Ethernet (PoE) allows the cable to supply power to compatible devices such as security cameras, VoIP phones, and IoT devices, eliminating the need for separate power sources and enabling installation in hard-to-reach locations like ceilings or outdoor poles. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from damage during installation and feature shielding to minimize near-end crosstalk (NEXT), further enhancing signal quality. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, the N262-S03-BL cable offers a reliable, efficient, and versatile solution for modern high-speed networks. Suitable for use in data centers, network closets, and enterprise environments, this cable combines superior shielding, slim design, and PoE support to meet the demands of today’s network infrastructure.
