StarTech NLWH-12F-CAT6A-PATCH 12ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech NLWH-12F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 12-foot Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring high-speed data transfer and Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. Its stranded copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure robust signal integrity, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes hazardous emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for sensitive installations. This cable is engineered to support up to 100W of PoE++ power, simplifying deployments by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance, supporting 500 MHz bandwidth. It is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. Specifically, it is ideal for powering and connecting high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, and other PoE++ enabled equipment.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and humidity levels of 0% to 85% RH. The stranded 27 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius (typically 4 times the cable diameter, approximately 2.3 inches for this 0.2-inch OD cable) to maintain performance and prevent damage. The LSZH jacket is suitable for indoor installations where fire safety regulations are stringent.
