Detailed Specifications
Eaton N261-06N-BL Tripp Lite 6inch Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N261-06N-BL is a 6-inch Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable with snagless molded RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is intended for short connections between switches, patch panels, servers, routers, and other network equipment where minimal cable length is required. Eaton lists the model for high-density 10 Gbps Ethernet environments.
The cable supports transmission speeds up to 10 Gbps and uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. Its blue PVC jacket provides quick visual identification in crowded patch panels and switches, while the snagless connector design helps protect RJ45 locking tabs during installation.
The N261-06N-BL supports PoE and is suited to very short equipment-to-panel or equipment-to-equipment connections. Its UTP construction is intended for standard Ethernet installations; shielded cabling should be selected when the deployment specifically requires additional EMI/RFI protection.
