Tripp Lite N261-025-BK Cat6a 10G Snagless UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), Black, 25 ft

The Tripp Lite N261-025-BK stands apart from typical patch cables by combining true 10 Gigabit performance with a snagless design that survives daily re-routing. Its 25-foot length and black jacket make it a discreet backbone for high-density office and data center connections, while the 500 MHz bandwidth keeps latency low even under sustained loads.

Highlights

• Category 6a (Cat6a) construction supports 10GBASE-T (10 Gigabit Ethernet) networks
• 500 MHz bandwidth ensures high-speed data transfer with minimal interference
• Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) design provides cost-effective EMI resistance for most environments
• Snagless boot protects the RJ45 locking clip during installation and removal
• Molded connectors with strain relief enhance durability and longevity
• 50-micron gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain signal integrity
• Supports Power over Ethernet (PoE, PoE+, UPoE) for flexible device connectivity
• Black 25-foot (7.6-meter) length ideal for tidy network setups

In daily use

This cable is a workhorse for modern offices, data centers, and home networks. The 10G capacity future-proofs your infrastructure, while the snagless boot prevents broken clips in tight spaces. The molded strain relief withstands vigorous cable pulling, and the UTP construction keeps costs down without compromising speed. Whether connecting a workstation to a switch or a server to a patch panel, it delivers a secure and stable link.
