Tripp Lite N261-100-BK

Overview

The Tripp Lite N261-100-BK is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver stable 10 gigabit data transfer over a 100-foot length. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing a single cable to carry both data and power to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. This cable features RJ45 connectors with molded snagless boots to protect the latch tabs during installation, making it easier to route through tight spaces without damage.

Key features

• Supports 10 Gbps data transfer speeds up to 100 feet, ensuring high-performance network connections.
• Power over Ethernet compatibility with 802.3af and 802.3at standards enables combined data and power delivery, reducing the need for separate power sources.
• Molded snagless boots protect connector latches, preventing damage when pulling the cable through crowded patch panels or cable trays.
• Flexible 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal integrity while allowing tight bends behind desks or racks.
• Durable black PVC jacket provides abrasion resistance and easy identification among other cables in network racks.
• Ideal length for data centers, office networks, classrooms, and home labs, offering practical reach without signal loss.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
