Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Yellow, 6 ft. (1.8 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262-S06-YW is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections over a 6-foot length. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling you to power compatible devices such as security cameras and VoIP phones directly through the cable. Its slim, shielded twisted pair design reduces cable bulk by about 38 percent compared to standard cables, making it easier to manage in tight spaces while maintaining strong signal integrity.

This cable is ideal for home offices, small business networks, and data centers where reliable and fast network performance is critical. The bright yellow jacket helps you quickly identify the cable among others in crowded racks or patch panels, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.
