Description

StarTech NLPL-1F-CAT6A-PATCH 1FT Purple Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLPL-1F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 1-foot purple, snagless Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments. Its short length and specific rating make it ideal for consolidating network connections in tight spaces, such as within server racks or network closets, where minimizing cable clutter and ensuring reliable data transmission is critical. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is rated for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensuring it can power demanding devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve its full 10Gbps performance. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 network port found on routers, switches, network interface cards (NICs), and IP surveillance devices. The 100W PoE rating ensures compatibility with IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (PoE++) compliant devices, providing ample power for high-demand equipment.

Installation Notes

Constructed with 27 AWG stranded copper conductors and S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, this cable offers robust protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in high-density environments. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces where fire safety regulations are stringent. The snagless connectors prevent damage to the locking tab during installation and removal, simplifying network maintenance.
