Detailed Specifications
Eaton N261AB-003-WH Tripp Lite 3ft Ethernet patch cable Cat6a
Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N261AB-003-WH is a 3-ft Cat6a unshielded twisted-pair Ethernet patch cable with snagless RJ45 male-to-male connectors. It is designed for high-speed connections between switches, servers, patch panels, routers, and other Ethernet equipment in office and data-center network environments.
The cable supports 10 Gbps networking and uses 24 AWG stranded copper conductors. Eaton specifies 500 MHz bandwidth under the TIA standard and 600 MHz maximum bandwidth as tested. The white jacket supports quick visual identification in crowded patch panels and switches.
The N261AB-003-WH adds an antibacterial material intended to inhibit the growth of E. coli and staph. It also supports Type 2 PoE+ up to 30W. The UTP construction is intended for standard unshielded Ethernet installations; shielded cabling is more appropriate where the deployment specifically requires additional EMI/RFI protection.
