Blue Cat6a Ethernet cable with snagless RJ45 connectors, 2 ft

Tripp Lite

Tripp Lite N261-002-BL network ethernet cable 2 ft

SKU CH-5GS1-2TPS3 MPN N261-002-BL

A 2 ft Cat6a Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors for 10 Gbps networks and PoE devices

  • Overall length2 ft (0.61 m)
  • Cat6a rating enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds
  • PoE support powers compatible devices without separate adapters
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors protect locking tabs from damage
  • 50-micron gold-plated contacts ensure accurate signal transfer
  • 2 ft length suits high-density rack and closet installs

Purpose-built 10 Gigabit link

This Cat6a Ethernet cable connects network devices at up to 10 Gigabit speeds over a short two-foot run. It suits installers wiring patch panels, switches, servers or PoE endpoints in dense racks or cabinets. The snagless RJ45 plugs protect locking tabs during frequent changes. Gold-plated contacts preserve signal integrity in high-density environments.

Category 6a rating decides suitability

The cable is built to the Cat6a standard that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet across its full length. If your link requires that bandwidth class, this part meets it; if the infrastructure only specifies Cat6 or lower, the extra headroom goes unused. No other category or speed rating applies to this model.

Fits tight rack spacing and PoE gear

At two feet the cable reduces slack between adjacent patch-panel ports or between a switch and a server. PoE support lets it power cameras, VoIP phones or access points without separate adapters. The male RJ45 ends plug directly into standard ports on routers, hubs, printers or modems. No tooling or special jacks are required.

Questions about this item

What does the 10 Gigabit rating mean when the cable is installed in a rack?

The Cat6a construction supports 10 Gbps throughput over the full 2 ft length, so short patch runs between a switch and a server or patch panel will carry line-rate 10 Gigabit Ethernet without signal loss.

How does the RJ45 connector limit what the cable can carry?

The RJ45 male ends terminate all four twisted pairs for 10 Gbps data and also carry Power over Ethernet, letting the same cord deliver both data and DC power to PoE devices such as cameras or VoIP phones.

Will the snagless boots and 2 ft length fit cleanly in a high-density patch panel?

The snagless moulded boots protect the locking tabs during tight installs, and the short 2 ft (0.6 m) run keeps slack to a minimum so the cable routes neatly between adjacent ports in a crowded rack.
