Description

StarTech NLBK-1F-CAT6A-PATCH 1ft CAT6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-1F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 1-foot black CAT6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments where cable length is critical and environmental considerations are paramount. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety regulations mandate reduced smoke and halogen emissions. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, ensuring robust performance for surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks requiring reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity. The short 1-foot length minimizes cable clutter and signal degradation in dense rack environments, and it supports up to 100W PoE++ for powering network devices.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a infrastructure. It is designed for use with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers. Its 100W PoE++ support makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices such as PTZ cameras or wireless access points that require more power than standard PoE or PoE+ can provide.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH), suitable for use in plenum spaces. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). Operating humidity is 0% to 85% RH.
