Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite N262-003-BL is a 3-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable with shielded twisted-pair construction, snagless RJ45 connectors, and stranded copper conductors. It is designed for 10 Gbps network connections while providing shielding against EMI/RFI line noise.
Technical Information
The cable uses 26 AWG, 4-pair stranded copper conductors and supports network speeds up to 10 Gbps. It has 500 MHz bandwidth per TIA standard and was tested to a maximum bandwidth of 600 MHz. The cable uses STP shielding, a PVC jacket, EIA/TIA 568B wiring, and gold-plated RJ45 contacts.
Compatibility
- Cat6a Ethernet networking equipment
- RJ45 female network ports
- 10 Gbps Ethernet connections
- PoE and Type 2 PoE+ applications
- Equipment using standard EIA/TIA 568B wiring
Key Features
- Cat6a performance for 10 Gbps Ethernet networking
- Shielded twisted-pair construction for EMI/RFI protection
- Snagless RJ45 male connectors help protect connector tabs
- 26 AWG 4-pair stranded copper conductors
- Supports Type 2 PoE+ up to 30W under IEEE 802.3at
Applications
The N262-003-BL is suited to network closets, server rooms, data centers, and other high-density Ethernet installations. Its 3-foot length is useful for short equipment-to-switch, patch-panel, router, server, and other RJ45 network connections.
DC Supplies Product Note
The shielded construction and snagless connectors make this cable suitable for dense networking environments where EMI/RFI protection and protection against accidental RJ45 tab breakage are useful considerations.
