Description

StarTech NLBK-100F-6A-PATCH 100ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-100F-6A-PATCH is a 100-foot, black Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-bandwidth, power-intensive network deployments. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent cable damage during installation, and the S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), crucial for maintaining signal integrity in environments with high data traffic or electrical noise. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a critical safety feature for indoor installations in public spaces or commercial buildings.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, supporting speeds up to 10Gbps over 100 meters (328 feet). It is suitable for use with any network device featuring an RJ45 port, including but not limited to: StarTech IP cameras, NVRs, managed switches, and wireless access points. Specifically, it is rated to carry up to 100W of PoE power, making it compatible with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 PoE++ devices. Ensure your network switch or PoE injector is capable of delivering the required power budget for connected devices.

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector's clip, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying cable management. The S/FTP shielding requires proper grounding at both ends to be effective against EMI. The LSZH jacket should be considered for installations where fire safety regulations mandate low-smoke, zero-halogen materials.
