Tripp Lite Safe-IT Cat6a 10G Snagless Antibacterial S/FTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 3 ft. (0.91 m), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262AB-003-WH is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to provide fast and reliable 10G Ethernet connections in compact spaces. With a length of 3 feet and 26 AWG stranded copper conductors, it supports data speeds up to 10 Gbps while maintaining signal integrity through its S/FTP shielding. This cable also features Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support, allowing it to deliver power to compatible devices such as security cameras and VoIP phones without the need for separate power adapters.

Its antibacterial PVC jacket inhibits the growth of bacteria like E. coli and staphylococcus, making it well suited for environments where hygiene is critical, including medical facilities, schools, and kitchens. The white jacket enhances cable identification in dense network setups, and snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from damage during installation or removal, extending the cable’s durability.
