Description

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

Overview

This 100-foot blue Cat6a Ethernet cable, model NLBL-100F-6A-PATCH, provides a reliable, high-performance link for network devices. Its construction is engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and supports up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi access points directly over the network cable. The snagless boot design simplifies installation by preventing cable snags during deployment, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, a critical consideration for enclosed spaces or public areas.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, ensuring broad interoperability. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements for 10GBASE-T networks, supporting data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). The 100W PoE capability is compatible with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards, enabling it to power devices requiring up to 100 watts. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and other Ethernet-enabled devices in enterprise, industrial, or data center environments.

Installation Notes

The snagless RJ45 connectors feature molded strain relief and a boot that protects the locking tab from damage during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, with individual foil shielding on each pair and an overall braided shield, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10Gbps, especially in environments with high EMI sources. The LSZH jacket is designed for plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations.
