Tripp Lite N223-01K-BK

Overview

The Tripp Lite N223-01K-BK is a bulk Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10-gigabit network performance over long distances. Supplied on a 1000-foot spool, it is ideal for professional installers working on data centers, office expansions, school campuses, and other environments requiring in-wall or riser-rated cabling. The cable’s 23 AWG solid copper conductors ensure strong signal integrity and low attenuation, making it suitable for backbone and horizontal cabling runs where consistent high-speed connectivity is essential.

Key features

• Supports 10 Gbps Ethernet speeds over standard channel distances, enabling fast data transfer for demanding network applications
• 23 AWG solid copper conductors maintain consistent signal quality and reduce interference across long cable runs
• Unshielded twisted pair design simplifies termination with standard Cat6a connectors while preserving signal clarity
• CMR-rated black PVC jacket is flame retardant and suitable for in-wall and riser installations, meeting safety requirements without extra conduit
• Bulk 1000-foot spool allows custom cable lengths on site, reducing waste and clutter for cleaner installations
• Complies with IEEE 802.3, TIA 568.2-D, and ISO/IEC 11801 standards, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network equipment including switches, patch panels, and PoE devices
• Clear jacket coloring helps technicians quickly identify cable runs during maintenance or network expansion

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to work seamlessly with existing network infrastructure, including switches, patch panels, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. Its adherence to industry standards guarantees interoperability with AV-over-IP equipment and other Ethernet-enabled hardware, making it a versatile choice for upgrading or expanding network environments.

Installation and setup

The bulk spool format allows installers to cut cables to precise lengths, minimizing excess and simplifying cable management. The CMR-rated jacket permits safe routing through walls and riser shafts without additional conduit, streamlining compliance with building codes. Its unshielded twisted pair construction supports straightforward termination using standard Cat6a connectors, reducing installation time and complexity.

Ideal uses and environments

This cable fits well in professional settings such as data centers, corporate offices, educational institutions, and any facility requiring high-speed, reliable Ethernet connections over extended distances. It is particularly suited for backbone cabling and horizontal runs where maintaining signal integrity and meeting fire safety standards are critical. Network administrators and installers will appreciate the flexibility and performance this cable provides for both new installations and network upgrades.

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.
