Detailed Specifications
Eaton N262-S05-BL Tripp Lite 5ft Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N262-S05-BL is a 5-ft Cat6a shielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for high-speed copper network connections between switches, servers, routers, patch panels, and other Ethernet equipment in data centers and network racks. Eaton's infrastructure catalogue identifies the model as a shielded STP, 10 Gbps, stranded-copper cable in a blue jacket.
The cable supports 10 Gbps networking and uses a slim snagless construction for high-density patching. Eaton's N262-S series documentation specifies 28 AWG construction for the slim series and 500 MHz TIA bandwidth with 600 MHz maximum tested bandwidth.
The N262-S05-BL is appropriate for copper Ethernet patching where shielded cabling is required. Its 5-ft length suits short rack connections; it should not be selected when fiber connectivity, an unshielded cable, or a different cable length is required.
Key Features
