    Cat6a Cable

FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of this Cat6a cable?
The Tripp Lite N261-001-BL Cat6a cable supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gigabits per second (10 Gbps). This high-speed capability makes it ideal for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks in data centers and network closets, ensuring optimal performance for demanding network applications.
What devices can this network cable support?
This Cat6a cable supports a wide range of devices including VoIP phones, network switches, patch panels, servers, routers, hubs, printers, computers, photocopiers, modems, security cameras, POS devices, and access control devices. It's particularly valuable for PoE (Power over Ethernet) compatible devices, allowing both data and power transmission through a single cable.
What are the key features of the RJ45 connectors?
The RJ45 connectors feature a snagless design to protect the locking tabs from damage during installation. They include 50-micron gold-plated contacts for accurate signal transfer and improved NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) performance up to 500 MHz. The connectors are male on both ends and include molded boots with strain relief for enhanced durability.
Does this cable support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Yes, the N261-001-BL fully supports both PoE and PoE+. This capability allows the cable to transmit both data and power to compatible devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, and access control devices, eliminating the need for separate power supplies and enabling installation in locations far from AC outlets.
What is the physical construction of this cable?
The cable is constructed with 24 AWG copper wire featuring four pairs of stranded conductors. It has a blue PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket for easy identification in crowded installations. The cable includes integral strain relief for flexibility and stress reduction, and is unshielded (UTP) with a CM-type jacket rating.
