Tripp Lite 12 ft Cat6a Shielded STP PoE Cable Blue N262012BL

Cat6a 12 ft Shielded PoE Cable

This 12-foot Category 6a cable is built for 10 Gbps Ethernet links and carries Power over Ethernet to devices such as cameras and VoIP phones. The shielded twisted-pair construction reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Snagless boots protect the connectors during installation. The blue jacket provides easy colour identification in a patch panel.

Suited for 10 Gbps LAN runs with PoE

Installers who need a single cable to deliver both data and power to remote access points, security cameras or POS terminals will benefit from the PoE support. The 500 MHz bandwidth handles 10GBase-T traffic with lower return loss than standard 100 MHz cable. Buyers who require longer reach than 12 feet or a different jacket colour should look at other lengths and colours.

500 MHz bandwidth rating

The cable is rated at 500 MHz, which determines its ability to carry 10 Gbps signals over the full 12-foot length with reduced impedance mismatch. This frequency rating is the key specification that confirms suitability for 10GBase-T networks.
