Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Snagless Shielded Slim STP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, Yellow, 25 ft. (7.6 m)

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262-S25-YW is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver 10 Gigabit per second data speeds over a 25-foot (7.6 meter) length. It features 28 AWG stranded copper conductors that provide both fast data transmission and flexibility for routing through tight spaces. This cable is shielded to protect against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable connections for switches, servers, and workstations in demanding network environments.

Its slim profile, which is about 38 percent thinner than standard Cat6a cables, helps maintain airflow in crowded racks and reduces clutter behind desks or inside wall boxes. The bright yellow jacket makes it easy to identify and trace connections, minimizing downtime during maintenance. Additionally, it supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both power and data to compatible devices such as security cameras and wireless access points without the need for separate power lines.

Key features
