N262-S03-WH

Tripp Lite Cat6a 10G Ethernet Cable, Snagless Molded Slim STP Network Patch Cable (RJ45 M/M)

High-density racks leave very little room for thick copper bundles. We built this slim patch cord with a reduced diameter to keep pathways open and let cooling air move freely around your gear. Shielded wire helps keep out noise, while the white jacket makes port mapping clear across a busy row.

What it does

How this one is built

Slim profile routing

The reduced outer diameter takes up far less volume in tight vertical wire managers. Bundles stay manageable, and intake fans on high-density switches pull cool air without fighting through a wall of thick jackets.

Snagless molded boots

Pulling a lead backward out of a packed patch panel can snap the clip off a connector. Our molded boots shield the plastic locking tabs from catching on neighbor drops while keeping proper strain relief intact.

Shielded copper construction

Under the outer jacket, internal shielding guards the four twisted pairs against electromagnetic and radio frequency noise. Signals stay clean across short cabinet runs and longer links between floor drops and distribution frames.

Gold-plated contacts

Each terminal uses heavy gold plating across the physical pins to preserve solid metal-to-metal contact over repeated seating cycles. It helps control near-end crosstalk and keeps link quality steady throughout daily network changes.
