Detailed Specifications
Eaton N262-015-BK Tripp Lite 15ft Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N262-015-BK is a 15-ft Cat6a shielded STP Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for connecting 10G switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, servers, and other network equipment in data-center and network-rack environments.
The cable supports 10 Gbps networking and uses 26 AWG stranded copper conductors. Its shielded construction helps reduce EMI/RFI line noise, while the 500 MHz TIA bandwidth rating and 600 MHz maximum tested bandwidth support high-speed Cat6a deployments.
The N262-015-BK supports Type 2 PoE+ up to 30W and uses snagless RJ45 connectors to protect locking tabs during installation. It is appropriate for copper Ethernet patching where shielded Cat6a is required; fiber or unshielded cabling is more appropriate when those media characteristics are specifically required.
