FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer rate of the Tripp Lite N262-007-BL cable?
The Tripp Lite N262-007-BL supports a maximum data transfer rate of 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second), making it ideal for high-speed network connections and data-intensive applications. This Cat6a cable is individually tested and certified on Fluke® test equipment to ensure consistent performance at these speeds.
What are the key physical specifications of this network cable?
This is a 7-foot (2.1 meters) blue Cat6a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. It features 26 AWG conductors and comes with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The cable includes snagless strain relief boots for secure connections and protection against cable damage during installation and use.
Is this cable shielded, and why does it matter?
Yes, the N262-007-BL is a shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. The shielding provides important protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), making it ideal for use in environments with high electrical noise or when running cables near power sources. This shielding helps maintain the integrity of data transmission at its rated 10 Gbps speed.
What type of connectors does the cable use?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends (1 x RJ-45 Network - Male on each end). These connectors are industry standard for Ethernet networking and come with snagless boots to protect the locking tabs and ensure easy insertion and removal without catching on other cables or objects.
What warranty comes with this Tripp Lite cable?
The Tripp Lite N262-007-BL comes with a lifetime limited warranty, demonstrating Tripp Lite's confidence in the product's quality and durability. This warranty provides long-term protection for your investment and ensures support throughout the cable's service life.
