Tripp Lite N262-001-BL Cat6 Cat6a Shielded Patch Cable 1 Ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N262-001-BL is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for Cat6 and Cat6a network installations. At 1 foot in length, it is built for short-run connections between network equipment — switches, patch panels, routers, and structured cabling termination points. The shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk in high-density cable environments. This cable is suited for installation by network technicians, low-voltage contractors, and IT infrastructure professionals working in commercial and enterprise settings.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in server rooms, data centers, telecommunications closets, and commercial office buildouts where Cat6 or Cat6a cabling infrastructure is in place. The 1-foot length makes it a practical choice for direct panel-to-switch connections and equipment bay patching where cable management and clean runs are a priority. Its blue jacket aids in color-coded cable identification schemes commonly used in structured wiring environments.

Key Features

• Shielded construction reduces EMI and crosstalk in dense cable environments
• Compatible with Cat6 and Cat6a network standards
• 1-foot length suited for short-run panel and equipment bay connections
• Blue jacket supports color-coded cable identification
• Sold individually (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with Cat6 and Cat6a structured cabling systems, switches, patch panels, and network interface equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians or IT infrastructure contractors following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Ensure termination points are rated for Cat6 or Cat6a to maintain signal integrity across the link. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling tension when routing the cable through cable management hardware.
