Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLBL-12F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 12-foot blue Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network infrastructure. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical, such as in data centers, public buildings, or industrial environments. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust performance for demanding network applications including surveillance systems, data transfer, and VoIP.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is compatible with all standard RJ45 network devices, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, IP cameras, and network video recorders (NVRs) that utilize Ethernet connectivity. Ensure your network infrastructure (switches, NICs) also supports Cat6a speeds for full 10GbE performance.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket offers improved fire safety but may be less flexible than standard PVC jackets in extreme cold. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or sharp bends, which can degrade performance. The 12-foot length is ideal for short-run connections between devices in a rack or workstation setup.
