Description

StarTech NLRD-1F-CAT6A-PATCH 1FT Red Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 1-foot StarTech NLRD-1F-CAT6A-PATCH cable is engineered for high-speed network deployments requiring reliable data transmission and robust power delivery. Its short length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter in dense rack environments or for direct device-to-device connections. The snagless RJ45 connectors ensure a secure fit without snagging on adjacent ports during installation, crucial for maintaining network integrity in critical infrastructure like surveillance systems or data centers. The cable's construction supports 10 Gbps speeds and up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices such as IP cameras, access points, or network switches.

Compatibility

The NLRD-1F-CAT6A-PATCH is designed to connect any standard RJ45 network device. It is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve its full 10 Gbps performance. This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and PoE-powered devices that require high bandwidth and stable power, including many modern IP surveillance cameras and wireless access points.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated, suitable for installations where fire safety regulations mandate reduced smoke and toxic fume emissions. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, while the Aluminum-Mylar foil with braid shielding (S/FTP) offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity even 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).
