25 ft Cat6a patch cable

The Tripp Lite N261-025-BK is a 25 ft unshielded twisted-pair patch cable terminated with snagless RJ45 male connectors on both ends. It is built for installers and network administrators who need a reliable 10 Gbps link between switches, patch panels or end devices in standard office or rack environments.

Upgrade from Cat5e or Cat6 runs

This cable replaces older Category 5e or Category 6 links that cannot reliably sustain 10 Gbps over the full 25 ft distance. The jump is worth it when the network backbone moves to 10GBASE-T and existing cabling shows errors or speed negotiation failures at that rate.

10 Gbps headroom and PoE support

The cable carries 10 Gbps Ethernet and IEEE 802.3af power over the same conductors, so access points and cameras can be powered without a separate supply. It runs out when the installation requires shielded cabling for high-EMI areas or when the run exceeds the 25 ft length provided.

Questions about this item

Does the 25 ft Cat6a cable fit standard RJ45 ports on switches and patch panels?

Yes, both ends use RJ45 male connectors that match standard Ethernet ports on switches, routers and patch panels.

How do I install the snagless boot without damaging the latch?

Push the connector straight in until the latch clicks; the snagless boot protects the tab so it releases cleanly when you press it down to unplug.

Will the cable need replacing if I upgrade to 10 Gbps equipment later?

No, the Cat6a UTP construction is FLUKE tested and certified for 10 Gbps, so it supports that speed without replacement.
