StarTech NLBK-15F-CAT6A-PATCH 15ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech NLBK-15F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 15-foot Cat6a Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission and reliable power delivery. Its construction supports 10Gbps speeds up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding network environments including surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple high-resolution cameras or complex data streams. The low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket is critical for installations in plenum spaces or public buildings where fire safety is paramount.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 connector, including standard Ethernet switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. It fully supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points directly over the network cable without requiring separate power adapters. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks, though performance will be limited to the lower category's specifications.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded 27 AWG copper conductors for flexibility, facilitating easier routing in tight spaces. Its S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, with Al-mylar foil and braided shielding, provides robust protection against EMI and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure durable, corrosion-resistant connections.
