Detailed Specifications
Eaton N261P-020-BL Tripp Lite 20ft Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N261P-020-BL is a 20-ft Cat6a F/UTP Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for 10GBase-T connections between servers, switches, routers, hubs, patch panels, and other network equipment in data centers and high-density network environments. Eaton identifies the model as a 10G-certified F/UTP cable with PoE and CMR-LP construction.
The cable supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and uses foil shielding around the unshielded twisted pairs to help reduce EMI/RFI interference. The 20-ft length provides additional routing reach between rack equipment and patching points, while the blue PVC jacket supports visual cable identification.
The N261P-020-BL supports Power over Ethernet and is CMR-LP rated for installations with increased power levels. It is appropriate where shielded copper patching and PoE are required; a shorter cable or a different shielding configuration should be selected where rack routing or EMC requirements dictate another cable type.
