Ethernet cable with Power over Ethernet (PoE) connects critical components, such as servers, switches, routers and hubs, in high-density 10G networks. This Cat6a 10G Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors is recommended for connecting network components like printers, computers, copiers, routers, servers, modems, hubs and switches in high-density data centers and network closets. Designed for fast transmission and excellent signal quality, the N261-100-BK ensures peak performance throughout your LAN. Because this Cat6a cable supports PoE, it can supply the power to operate compatible PoE devices, such as security cameras, VoIP telephones, point-of-sale kiosks and access control devices. This saves you the expense and effort of purchasing, connecting and installing individual power supplies for each device. It also helps you install PoE devices in areas far away from AC outlets, such as poles or ceilings. The RJ45 connectors’ snagless design protects the locking tabs from being damaged or broken off during installation. The contacts feature 50-micron gold plating to help ensure the most accurate signal transfer possible, improving near-end crosstalk (NEXT) performance to 500 MHz. The cable has a black PVC jacket, which is easy to identify quickly in a crowded patch panel or switch and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected. Manufactured from 24 AWG copper wire, the four-pair stranded cable is rated for speeds up to 10 Gbps. Integral strain relief gives the unshielded cable extra flexibility, reduces stress and helps the cable move freely without cracking or breaking loose from the connector.
