Tripp Lite Safe-IT Cat6a 10G Snagless Antibacterial S/FTP Ethernet Cable (RJ45 M/M), PoE, White, 14 ft. (4.27 m), TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N262AB-014-WH is a Cat6a S/FTP Ethernet cable designed to support 10 gigabit networking speeds, making it ideal for handling large backups, multimedia streaming, and cloud-based connections without interruption. With a length of fourteen feet (4.27 meters), it provides ample reach for most rack or workstation setups, allowing for neat cable management while avoiding excess slack. Its antibacterial polyvinyl chloride jacket and connectors inhibit the growth of bacteria such as E. coli and staph, which is especially important in environments where hygiene is a priority, including hospitals, laboratories, and shared office spaces.

Key features

• Cat6a S/FTP construction supports data rates up to 10 Gbps over copper wiring for high-speed network performance
• Antibacterial jacket and connectors reduce bacterial growth, enhancing cleanliness in sensitive environments
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) compatibility allows devices like security cameras, VoIP phones, and access points to receive power and data through a single cable, simplifying installations
• Snagless RJ45 connectors with protective boots prevent damage to locking tabs during installation or removal, improving durability
• Individually foil-shielded pairs combined with an overall braided shield minimize electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, ensuring stable and reliable connections
• White jacket color improves cable identification and troubleshooting in dense or complex cable runs
• Fourteen-foot length fits common rack-to-patch panel or desk-to-wall port connections, providing flexibility in various setups
• TAA compliance meets sourcing requirements for government and regulated projects
