Description

StarTech NLAQ-12F-CAT6A-PATCH 12ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-12F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 12-foot aqua-colored, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet cable. It's engineered for high-speed data transmission and enhanced safety in environments where fire retardancy and low smoke emission are critical, such as commercial installations and data centers. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for network devices, including IP cameras, switches, and servers, supporting up to 10Gbps speeds and 500MHz bandwidth. Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it suitable for installations requiring frequent bending or routing around obstacles.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) devices, ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-demand network equipment like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors. It is suitable for use with any standard RJ-45 networking equipment and is ideal for connecting devices within a rack or between nearby network ports.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and humidity levels from 0% to 85% RH. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it a safer choice for indoor installations. Stranded 27 AWG copper conductors provide flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces.
