Tripp Lite N261-S25-YW Slim Cat6a Patch Cable 25ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N261-S25-YW is a slim-profile Cat6a patch cable measuring 25 feet in length with a yellow jacket. Cat6a cabling supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, making it a fit for high-density data center runs, server rack interconnects, and structured cabling installations where bandwidth headroom matters. The slim jacket diameter reduces cable bulk in tight cable trays and patch panels, allowing for better airflow management and easier routing in congested enclosures. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for horizontal runs, patch panel terminations, and equipment connections in enterprise and commercial environments.

This patch cable is suited for enterprise network infrastructure, data centers, server rooms, and commercial structured cabling applications. The 25-foot length covers longer rack-to-rack runs and cross-connects within a single rack row or adjacent rows. The yellow jacket follows common color-coding conventions used to designate specific VLANs, port types, or network segments, supporting organized cable management in larger installations.

Key Features

• Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 500 MHz bandwidth
• Slim jacket profile reduces bundle diameter for high-density cable management
• 25-foot length suitable for longer patch runs and rack row cross-connects
• Yellow jacket aids visual identification and color-coded cable organization
• Pre-terminated and ready to install with no field termination required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with standard Cat6a and Cat6 patch panels, keystone jacks, and RJ45 ports in enterprise and commercial network environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage network technicians or structured cabling installers. Route cables away from high-voltage conductors and EMI sources in accordance with TIA-568 and NEC Article 800 guidelines for communications wiring. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, as this can degrade signal performance on Cat6a slim cables. Verify patch panel and switch port compatibility before deployment in existing structured cabling systems.
