Description

StarTech NLBK-10F-CAT6A-PATCH 10ft Cat6a LSZH Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-10F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 10-foot black, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. It's engineered for high-speed data transmission and reliable power delivery, specifically designed for environments where cable fire safety is a critical concern, such as commercial installations, data centers, and public spaces. This cable ensures robust connectivity for network devices and supports high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network endpoints without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 500MHz, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications including IP surveillance systems, data center networking, and high-speed internet connections. The RJ-45 connectors are standard across most networking equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. Its 100W PoE++ support (802.3bt) ensures compatibility with high-power devices.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, while the S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and humidity should be kept between 0% and 85% RH.
