Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Molded UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Aqua, 2 ft. (0.6 m)

The Tripp Lite N261-002-AQ is a two-foot Cat6a patch cable built for network runs that have to move data at up to 10 gigabits per second without fuss. It links rack equipment such as servers, switches, and routers, and it is just as handy for connecting a PoE security camera or VoIP phone that sits only a short distance from a switch.

Each RJ45 connector is molded with a snagless hood that shields the locking tab, so you can pull the cable through crowded conduits or patch panels without breaking the latch. Gold-plated contacts maintain a clean signal path and keep crosstalk low, which protects throughput when the cable sits in a high-density bundle.

The cable carries Power over Ethernet, so one run handles both data and power for devices that support either the 15.4 watt or 30 watt PoE standard. That single-cable approach reduces wall-wart clutter and simplifies installation for wireless access points or IP cameras.

An aqua PVC jacket sets the cable apart from ordinary patch leads, making it easy to spot and trace during maintenance. Inside, 24 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for tight bends while keeping signal integrity intact. Use this short jumper in data centers, network closets, or even a home lab where space is limited and performance cannot be compromised.
