Product Identity

The Tripp Lite N261-020-AQ is a 20 ft Cat6a patch cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for network links that require 10 Gbps throughput over copper and carries a distinctive aqua jacket for quick visual identification in dense racks.

Pre-Installation Checks

Verify that your switch ports, router interfaces or server NICs support 10GBASE-T operation to use the cable at its rated speed. Confirm that the 20 ft length fits your rack or desk layout without excessive slack or tension on the connectors. Ensure the connected hardware accepts standard RJ45 plugs and that no keyed or proprietary jack variant is present.

Build and Daily Use

The unshielded twisted-pair construction keeps the cable flexible for routing through cable managers or under raised floors. Snagless boots protect the locking tabs during repeated insertions and removals, reducing the chance of a broken clip that would require re-termination. FLUKE certification and ETL/UL verification indicate the assembly meets industry performance and safety baselines for permanent installations. Support for IEEE 802.3af allows the cable to carry power to compatible PoE devices without a separate supply.

Questions about this item

Does the cable arrive ready to use or do I need to buy connectors separately?

The cable ships with RJ45 male connectors on both ends so it plugs straight into network ports without extra parts.

Why choose the aqua Cat6a 20 ft version over other colours or lengths?

The aqua jacket identifies Cat6a 10 Gbps links at a glance and the 20 ft reach suits typical rack-to-switch runs.

What does the 10 Gbps rating mean when the cable is installed in a real network?

FLUKE certification and ETL/UL verification confirm the cable meets Cat6a performance for 10 Gbps Ethernet up to the full channel distance.
