Tripp Lite N261-S01-AQ

Overview

The Tripp Lite N261-S01-AQ is a Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to support high-speed 10 Gbps network connections in compact spaces. With a length of 1 foot, it is perfect for connecting devices such as routers, switches, printers, and servers where space is limited but performance remains a priority. Its slim profile reduces cable bulk by over 38 percent compared to standard Cat6a cables, improving airflow and cable management in dense network environments.

Equipped with snagless RJ45 connectors and an aqua-colored jacket, this cable ensures secure connections and easy identification among other cables. It also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to deliver both data and power to compatible devices like security cameras and VoIP phones without the need for additional power adapters.

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.
