Description

StarTech NLAQ-1F-CAT6A-PATCH 1ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-1F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 1-foot aqua-colored, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. It's designed for high-speed data transmission up to 10Gbps and supports frequencies up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding network environments like IP surveillance camera deployments, data centers, or any application requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity over short distances. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, a critical safety consideration in enclosed spaces or plenum-rated areas. This cable also supports up to 100W of PoE++ power, ensuring your powered devices receive sufficient energy without needing separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is suitable for connecting any network devices with RJ45 ports, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. Specifically, it is an ideal choice for connecting IP cameras that require high bandwidth for 4K streaming or advanced analytics, or for short runs between network switches and patch panels in a surveillance system. The 1-foot length is perfect for minimizing cable clutter in network closets or behind equipment racks.

Installation Notes

The cable features 27 AWG stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability. It is shielded with S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, meaning each pair is foil-shielded and the entire cable bundle is further protected by a braided screen. This robust shielding significantly reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
