Tripp Lite N261-06N-WH

Overview

The Tripp Lite N261-06N-WH is a Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed 10 gigabit networks. Measuring just six inches, it connects two RJ45 ports while supporting a full 500 MHz bandwidth to ensure maximum data transfer rates between switches, servers, and storage devices. Its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability allows it to deliver both power and data over a single cable, simplifying setups for devices like wireless access points, VoIP phones, and IP cameras.

This cable’s 24 AWG stranded copper conductors maintain signal integrity and flexibility, making it suitable for tight spaces and frequent re-patching. The molded, snagless connectors protect locking tabs from damage, and the white PVC jacket helps with quick identification in crowded racks. Its short length is perfect for jumpers between switches and patch panels or for use in technician kits where clutter-free, reliable connections are essential.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to connect any two RJ45 ports, making it suitable for linking switches, patch panels, servers, and network appliances that support Cat6a standards. Its PoE capability allows it to power devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones without additional power cables, streamlining network installations and reducing clutter.

Ideal uses and environments

The short six-inch length makes this cable an excellent choice for jumpers in data center racks, top-of-rack connections, or lab bench setups where space is limited and excess cable can cause clutter. It also fits well in technician toolkits for quick diagnostics and temporary connections on-site. The white jacket helps network administrators quickly identify critical links, reducing downtime caused by mis-connections or cable confusion.

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.
