Description

StarTech NLAQ-20F-CAT6A-PATCH 20ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-20F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 20-foot, aqua-colored Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. 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, or public spaces. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, ensuring robust performance for demanding network infrastructure, including surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple HD or 4K streams.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks. It is designed for use with any RJ-45 network device, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance. It supports up to 100W of PoE++ (802.3bt) power, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without needing separate power injectors.

Installation Notes

The cable features a stranded copper conductor for flexibility, suitable for installations that may involve routing around corners or through conduits. The LSZH jacket reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to heat or fire, a critical consideration for indoor installations in occupied spaces. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
