Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Yellow, 15 ft. (4.6 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262-S15-YW is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit network connections while maintaining a slim profile that is about 38 percent smaller than typical Cat6a cables. This 15-foot cable is ideal for environments where space is limited and airflow is important, such as server rooms or crowded office desks. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like security cameras and VoIP phones without the need for additional power adapters.

Its shielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable and clean data transmission even in busy electronic setups. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plugs during installation or when routing through conduits, and the bright yellow jacket makes it easy to identify among other cables, reducing the risk of accidental unplugging.
