N261-S03-AQ

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

Dense patch fields choke off cooling air when standard thick jackets pile up across switch faces. We build this slim copper patch cord with a reduced outer profile so warm air escapes tight rack rows. Molded boots cover the release tabs so you can pull a run back out without snapping plastic off the head.

What it does

How this one is built

Slim jacket profile

Thinner than standard patch cords, this outer diameter takes up far less cross section inside vertical wire managers. Air moves past packed switches instead of banking heat against the faceplates.

Snagless tab hoods

Molded hoods ride up over the latch levers on both ends. You can fish a line back through bundles of dropped cabling without the latch catching on an adjacent loop and snapping off.

Gold contact plating

Stranded copper conductors terminate into plated contacts that resist corrosion over years in a patch frame. Clean metal contact keeps insertion losses low and helps limit near-end crosstalk across the link.

Molded strain relief

The hood is molded directly over the jacket termination to handle tight radius turns off the switch face. It absorbs mechanical tension so individual wire pairs do not pull loose from their crimps.
