Cable length and category

The Tripp Lite N261-014-BK is a 14 ft Category 6a patch cable designed for wired network connections. It suits home offices, small businesses and anyone extending a LAN run up to fourteen feet.

Connectors and build

Two RJ45 male plugs terminate the unshielded twisted-pair cable, allowing a direct link between routers, switches, PCs or other network devices. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during routing and the stranded 24 AWG conductors keep the cable flexible for tight bends.

Speed rating and headroom

The cable is FLUKE tested and certified for 10 Gbps throughput, providing headroom for 10GBASE-T and Power over Ethernet under IEEE 802.3af. It will not support speeds beyond 10 Gbps or fibre-grade distances, so longer runs or higher bandwidths need a different medium.

Questions about this item

What speed does the cable sustain over its full 14 ft length?

The Cat6a cable is certified for 10 Gbps across the entire 14 ft run.

Does the cable generate noticeable heat when carrying 10 Gbps continuously?

As a passive 24 AWG copper cable it produces no measurable heat during all-day 10 Gbps traffic.

Which devices already need RJ45 ports to use this cable?

Both ends require standard RJ45 ports; the cable works with any network device that has an RJ45 jack.
