Detailed Specifications
Eaton N261-S15-YW Tripp Lite 15 ft Cat6a Ethernet patch cable unshielded
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N261-S15-YW is a 15-ft Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair patch cable with RJ45 male connectors. It is designed for connecting servers, switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, and other network equipment in data centers and network closets.
The cable supports 10 Gbps transmission and uses a slim 28 AWG stranded construction. Its 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk in dense installations, while the molded snagless design helps protect connector locking tabs during patching.
The N261-S15-YW supports PoE, PoE+, and 10GBase-T applications. Its unshielded construction is appropriate for standard network environments; shielded cabling is preferable where the installation requires additional protection against electromagnetic interference.
