Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Molded Slim UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Aqua, 1 ft. (0.3 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N261-S01-AQ is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to support high-speed 10 Gbps network connections in compact spaces. With a length of 1 foot, it is perfect for connecting devices such as routers, switches, printers, and servers where space is limited but performance remains a priority. Its slim profile reduces cable bulk by over 38 percent compared to standard Cat6a cables, improving airflow and cable management in dense network environments.

Equipped with snagless RJ45 connectors and an aqua-colored jacket, this cable ensures secure connections and easy identification among other cables. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like security cameras and VoIP phones without the need for additional power adapters.
