FAQs

What is the maximum data transfer speed of the Tripp Lite N262-003-GY cable?
The Tripp Lite N262-003-GY supports data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps (10 Gigabits per second), making it ideal for high-speed 10G network equipment. This Cat6a cable is certified for 10G performance and ensures optimal transmission of data, voice, and video through network infrastructure.
What devices is this network cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of devices including network switches, modems, routers, adapters, hubs, and patch panels. It also supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and point-of-sale kiosks. The cable's versatility makes it suitable for any network infrastructure requiring Cat6a connectivity.
What are the key features that protect the cable's signal quality?
The N262-003-GY features premium shielding (STP) that protects against EMI/RFI line noise interference, minimizes near-end crosstalk (NeXT) levels, and includes 26 AWG copper wire construction. The cable's design reduces impedance and structural return loss compared to standard 100 MHz wire, ensuring superior signal quality for your network connections.
What type of connectors does the cable use and how are they protected?
The cable features RJ-45 male connectors on both ends with a snagless design that protects the locking tabs from damage during installation. The connectors include integral strain relief with ridges that provide extra flexibility, reduce stress, and allow free movement without cracking.
How long is the cable and what color is it?
The Tripp Lite N262-003-GY is 3 feet long and comes in gray color. This length makes it perfect for short-range connections in server rooms, network closets, or desktop setups where precise cable management is required.
