Tripp Lite Cat6a Keystone Jack Cable Assembly, Shielded, PoE+, RJ45 M/F, 18-in. (45.72 cm), Blue, TAA

Overview

The Tripp Lite N237A-F18N-WHSH is a shielded Cat6a keystone jack cable assembly designed to deliver both data and power in challenging installation environments. With an 18-inch length, it connects a female RJ45 keystone jack directly to a male RJ45 plug, making it ideal for tight spaces like open ceilings, raised floors, or equipment enclosures. Supporting network speeds up to 10 Gbps and PoE power delivery up to 100 watts, this cable assembly ensures reliable performance for devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and LED fixtures.

Key features

• Shielded Cat6a construction that maintains high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbps while reducing electromagnetic interference in crowded or plenum spaces
• Supports PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ standards, delivering up to 100 watts of power over a single cable to meet the needs of modern network-powered devices
• Female RJ45 keystone jack snaps into patch panels or surface mount boxes, simplifying direct connections to network infrastructure
• Compact 18-inch length reduces cable slack and clutter, enabling neat and professional installations in confined areas
