Tripp Lite N262-S25-AQ Cat6a Slim Shielded Patch Cable 25ft

Product Description

The TRIPP LITE N262-S25-AQ is a slim shielded Cat6a patch cable designed for structured cabling installations in enterprise and commercial network environments. At 25 feet in length and finished in an aqua jacket, this cable supports high-density patch panel and switch deployments where cable management and port visibility are priorities. The shielded construction helps reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for demanding data center and server room runs. Licensed cabling technicians and network infrastructure installers are the primary users of this cable type.

This cable is built for use in enterprise-grade horizontal and patch cabling applications. It fits well in high-density rack environments where slim-diameter cables reduce bundle bulk and improve airflow around equipment. Typical install scenarios include patch panel terminations, switch port connections, and structured cabling backbone tie-ins in commercial office buildings, data centers, and server closets. The aqua jacket aids in quick visual identification of cable runs by category or zone in large installations.

Key Features

• Cat6a rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz bandwidth
• Shielded construction reduces crosstalk and EMI in high-density environments
• Slim jacket diameter allows tighter bend radius and improved cable management
• Aqua jacket color aids visual identification in multi-cable installations
• 25-foot length suits mid-range rack-to-rack or patch panel-to-switch runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment patch cable for Cat6a shielded patch panel ports, keystone jacks, and RJ45 switch interfaces in enterprise structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by qualified low-voltage cabling technicians following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Verify that all connected hardware, including patch panels and switch ports, is rated for Cat6a shielded terminations before deployment. Avoid sharp bend radii that exceed the cable minimum bend specification, as this can degrade signal performance. Power down any sensitive equipment in the immediate rack space before routing cables through tight cable management paths.
