Tripp Lite N261-UR10-BL Cat6a Slim Utp Patch Cable 10ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N261-UR10-BL is a slim-profile Cat6a UTP patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in enterprise and commercial network environments. Measuring 10 feet in length and finished in blue for easy visual identification, this cable supports high-speed data transmission at Category 6A performance standards. Its slim jacket diameter reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in dense patch panel installations, making it a practical choice for data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets managed by IT and low-voltage cabling professionals.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and cross-connect runs in both new construction and retrofit network infrastructure projects. It is commonly used at patch panels, switches, routers, and network interface equipment where Cat6a performance is required. The blue jacket aids in color-coded cable management schemes, which simplifies troubleshooting and documentation in high-density installations. Licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling installers are the typical trades working with this type of cable.

Key Features

• Cat6a UTP construction supports 10-Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth network applications
• Slim jacket profile reduces cable diameter compared to standard Cat6a cables, improving airflow and bend radius management
• 10-foot length suits short patch panel to switch runs and equipment rack connections
• Blue jacket color supports color-coded cable management and easy visual identification
• Sold as a single cable unit for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplemental patch cable for Cat6a-rated patch panels, keystone jacks, switches, and network equipment with standard RJ45 ports in enterprise and commercial structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 standards for Cat6a cabling. Power down or place connected network equipment in a maintenance state before disconnecting active links to avoid network disruption. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity, and do not route patch cables alongside high-voltage power conductors without proper separation per NEC guidelines.
