Tripp Lite N262-008-AQ Cat6a Snagless Patch Cable 8ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N262-008-AQ is a Cat6a snagless patch cable designed for structured cabling and network infrastructure installations. Measuring 8 feet in length and finished in aqua, this cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and is built for use in enterprise, commercial, and data center environments. The snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking tab during installation and routing, reducing the risk of connector damage when cables are bundled or pulled through conduit and cable management systems. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable as a direct equipment or patch panel connection.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and equipment-bay runs in enterprise network closets, server rooms, and commercial structured cabling installations. Its aqua jacket aids in color-coded cable management, making it easier to trace and identify connections in high-density patch fields. The 8-foot length fits common rack-to-switch and switch-to-patch-panel spans without excess slack.

Key Features

• Cat6a rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable compatible with standard RJ45 Cat6a and backward-compatible Cat6 and Cat5e network ports on switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals. No special tools are required beyond standard cable management equipment. Route cables through dedicated cable trays or conduit where applicable and follow TIA-568 guidelines for bend radius and bundling to maintain signal integrity. Avoid sharp bends at the connector boot.
