Ideal for 10 Gbps PoE networks

This Cat6a shielded twisted-pair patch cable is built for 10 Gbps Ethernet connections with Power over Ethernet support. It suits installers linking switches, routers, modems, adapters, hubs or patch panels in high-density data-centre racks. The 3 ft length keeps runs tidy inside cabinets.

Verify connector type and cable category

Check that both endpoints use RJ45 jacks and that your infrastructure is rated for Cat6a performance. The 26 AWG stranded copper construction is designed for patching, not for long horizontal runs. Ensure the pathway can accommodate the shielded jacket and that grounding is handled at the patch panel.

Shielding maintains signal integrity under load

The STP foil shield defends against EMI and RFI line noise that can degrade sustained 10 Gbps throughput. Snagless boots protect the connector tabs during repeated re-seating in dense panels. Stranded conductors resist fatigue from routine moves, adds and changes in active installations.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and is anything else needed to use the N262-003-BK cable?

The package contains the 3 ft Cat6a shielded patch cable with RJ45 connectors on both ends. No additional parts are required — plug it into two RJ45 ports and the link is live.

Which version or capacity of this cable should I choose for a 10 Gbps PoE run?

This model is a 3 ft Cat6a 10G-certified STP cable rated for PoE. If the distance between devices is longer, select a longer length in the same series; the category and shielding stay the same.

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

It confirms the cable meets Cat6a performance up to 10 Gbps over its full 3 ft length while carrying PoE power, with 26 AWG stranded copper and shielding that resists EMI/RFI noise.
