Description

StarTech NLAQ-14F-CAT6A-PATCH 14ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-14F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 14-foot aqua-colored Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are strict, such as in public buildings, data centers, or enterprise environments. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for surveillance cameras, network switches, and other IP devices requiring robust network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 500MHz, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications like 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and demanding network services. It is also rated to support up to 100W of PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-power devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without needing separate power supplies. The RJ-45 connectors are plated with 50-micron gold for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 27 AWG stranded copper conductor construction, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive smoke release in case of fire, a critical safety feature for enclosed areas. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable diameter is 0.2 inches (5.7 mm).
