Description

StarTech NLAQ-15F-CAT6A-PATCH 15ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 15-foot StarTech NLAQ-15F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for demanding network environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are critical, such as public spaces, data centers, or commercial buildings. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces, while the 27 AWG gauge supports up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery without significant voltage drop.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is engineered to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, making it compatible with high-bandwidth applications including 4K/8K video streaming, large file transfers, and demanding network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks. The RJ-45 connectors ensure universal compatibility with standard network equipment such as switches, routers, network cameras, and servers.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and supports 0% to 85% RH humidity. The 0.2-inch (5.7 mm) outer diameter and stranded 27 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility for installation in conduits or cable trays. It supports up to 100W of PoE++ (802.3bt) power, ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points.
