Tripp Lite Safe-IT Cat6a 10G Snagless Antibacterial UTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 10 ft. (3.05 m), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N261AB-010-WH is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable network performance with data transfer speeds up to 10 Gbps. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing you to power compatible devices like phones, cameras, and access points through the same cable. The cable’s antibacterial PVC jacket helps reduce the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and staph, making it especially suitable for environments where hygiene is a priority, including hospitals, clinics, classrooms, and shared offices.

Constructed with 24 AWG copper conductors and three-micron gold-plated contacts, this cable maintains strong signal integrity over its 10-foot length. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs during installation, while the white jacket improves visibility in crowded patch panels to prevent accidental disconnects. Its TAA compliance ensures it meets government and institutional sourcing standards.

Key features
