Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Blue, 5 ft. (1.5 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262-S05-BL is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit network connections in environments where space and performance are critical. Measuring 5 feet in length, it is ideal for connecting devices such as routers, switches, and printers within racks or workstations without excess cable clutter. Its slim profile, which is over 38 percent thinner than standard cables, helps improve airflow and simplifies cable management in tight spaces.

Shielded to minimize electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, this cable ensures stable data transmission and protects your network from signal disruptions. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing compatible devices to receive power directly through the cable, reducing the need for additional power adapters. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent damage during installation or removal, extending the cable’s lifespan, while the bright blue jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables in complex setups.
