Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLBL-15F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 15-foot blue Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission and robust power delivery. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, such as in commercial buildings, data centers, and surveillance environments. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz and is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring reliable power and data for demanding devices like IP cameras, access control systems, and wireless access points without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, but its full 10GbE performance is realized when used with Cat6a or higher infrastructure. It is compatible with any RJ-45 networking device, including but not limited to: StarTech's own line of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, network switches, routers, IP cameras, and Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices. The 50-micron gold-plated connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection for optimal signal integrity.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, making it compliant with strict safety codes. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is designed for standard network installations and does not require specialized tools beyond typical network termination or connection hardware.
