Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Molded Slim UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 5 ft. (1.5 m)

The Tripp Lite N261-S05-WH is a slim Cat6a patch cable that moves data at up to 10 Gbps and fits where bulkier cables cannot. Designed for switches, patch panels, and networked devices that sit shoulder to shoulder in modern racks, the cable measures only 28 AWG, making it more than 38 percent thinner than typical Cat6a leads. That slimmer profile improves airflow through the rack, helps equipment stay cool, and makes cable management far easier.

At five feet in length, the cable is long enough for most rack-to-rack and patch-panel runs yet short enough to avoid service-loop clutter. Each end features a molded RJ45 plug with a snagless hood that protects the locking tab as you pull the cable through tight spaces. Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain a clean signal path, so data moves quickly and reliably whether you are linking top-of-rack switches or patching an access point on a conference-room ceiling.

Because the cable supports Power over Ethernet, you can run both data and power across the same line to devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. That single-cable approach cuts installation time and eliminates the need to locate an electrical outlet near every endpoint.

A white PVC jacket lets installers and technicians identify this link instantly inside color-coded bundles, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection during maintenance. The stranded copper conductors add flexibility for routing around corners, and the cable carries Tripp Lite’s lifetime limited warranty for added confidence.

Use the N261-S05-WH anywhere a high-speed, space-saving network connection is required, from dense data centers and network closets to small offices and home labs that rely on PoE devices.
