Description

StarTech NLAQ-10F-CAT6A-PATCH 10ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-10F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 10-foot aqua-colored, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. It's engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections, specifically designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 500MHz. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to heat or fire, making it suitable for environments where safety regulations are stringent, such as public buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. This cable also supports up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery, simplifying deployments by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks. It is suitable for connecting any network-enabled device requiring a reliable, high-speed Ethernet link, including but not limited to: StarTech IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and any device compliant with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (PoE++) standards for power and data transmission.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated for operation between 0°C and 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent signal integrity. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 27 AWG wire gauge minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining 10Gbps performance over its 10-foot length.
