Tripp Lite

Tripp Lite N261-S6N-WH network ethernet cable

SKU CH-GV30-X14AV MPN N261-S6N-WH

A 6-inch Cat6a patch cord with RJ45 connectors for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE

  • Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds with Cat6a rating
  • Powers compatible devices directly through PoE support
  • Slim design improves airflow by 38 percent in tight spaces
  • Snagless molded connectors protect tabs during frequent changes
  • Short 15 cm length reduces clutter in dense racks

Ideal for high-density 10 Gigabit networks

This Cat6a cable connects network devices such as servers, switches, routers, printers and PoE equipment in data centres and network closets. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission for fast, reliable LAN performance. The 15 cm length suits tight, high-density patching environments.

Slim profile improves sustained airflow

The cable diameter is more than 38% smaller than standard Cat6a, increasing airflow in dense racks to help keep equipment cool during continuous operation. Snagless molded boots protect the RJ45 connectors from damage during frequent changes. PoE support delivers power to compatible devices without separate supplies.

Verify connector spacing and cable length

Check that the 6 inch (15 cm) reach matches the port spacing on your patch panel or switch. Ensure your hardware supports Cat6a 10G performance and PoE if you intend to power devices through the cable. The slim UTP design fits congested cable managers where standard cables would not.

Questions about this item

Does the slim Cat6a cable run cooler in a packed rack than a standard one?

The cable is more than 38% smaller in diameter than standard Cat6a, increasing airflow in tight spaces to help keep equipment cool.

What connectors do I need on my switch and server for this 6-inch patch cord to plug straight in?

Both ends use RJ-45 male connectors, so any standard Gigabit or 10 Gigabit port will accept it without adapters.

Will this 15 cm Cat6a link work reliably between my older Cat6 patch panel and a new 10G switch?

The cable meets Category 6a performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e infrastructure.
