Eaton N262-S03-BL Tripp Lite 3ft Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N262-S03-BL is a 3-ft Cat6a shielded STP Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for connecting servers, switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, and other network equipment in high-density 10G Ethernet environments. Eaton identifies this model as part of its Snagless Slim copper-network cable range.
The cable supports up to 10 Gbps networking and uses 28 AWG stranded copper conductors. Its slim construction is more than 38% smaller than standard Cat6a cable, helping reduce cable congestion and improve airflow in populated racks. The shielded construction provides EMI/RFI protection for installations where interference control matters.
The N262-S03-BL supports PoE and PoE+ and uses snagless connectors with integrated strain relief. Its 3-ft length is suited to short rack and patch-panel connections. Shielded Cat6a should be selected where interference protection is required; fiber or longer/shorter copper patching requires a different cable configuration.
