FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6a cable?
The Tripp Lite N262AB-005-WH Cat6a cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second). This high-speed capability makes it ideal for 10G Ethernet networks and connecting high-performance equipment like network switches, servers, and modems in data center environments.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, this Cat6a cable supports both PoE and PoE+ Type 2. This capability allows it to power compatible devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, POS kiosks, and access control devices without requiring separate power supplies. This feature provides flexibility in device placement and can reduce installation costs by eliminating the need for additional power outlets.
What type of protection does this cable offer against interference?
The cable features S/FTP (Shielded with Foiled Twisted Pair) construction that provides comprehensive protection against EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference). Each twisted pair is individually foiled to reduce crosstalk between adjacent pairs. This shielding helps prevent data loss, hardware damage, and ensures optimal performance up to 500 MHz.
What are the unique health safety features of this cable?
This cable is constructed with special antibacterial materials in both the connectors and PVC jacket that are 99.9% effective in inhibiting Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (staph). This makes it particularly suitable for installations in medical facilities, schools, restaurants, and other environments where bacterial protection is important.
What type of connectors does the cable use and how are they protected?
The cable features RJ45 male connectors on both ends with a snagless design that protects the locking tabs from damage during installation. The connectors have gold plating for optimal signal transfer and include integral strain relief for added flexibility and durability. This design helps prevent the cable from cracking or breaking loose from the connector.
