StarTech NLBK-20F-CAT6A-PATCH 20ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable - Black
Overview
This 20-foot StarTech NLBK-20F-CAT6A-PATCH is a black, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding applications like IP surveillance camera backbones, high-performance workstations, and data center interconnects where cable jacket fire safety is a concern. The LSZH rating means it emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, critical for compliance in public spaces or plenum-rated environments.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is engineered to meet the stringent requirements for 10Gbps performance. It is compatible with any standard RJ-45 network device, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and servers. Its 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) support ensures it can reliably power high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power injector or dedicated power circuit for the device itself.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and a 27 AWG wire gauge. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at higher frequencies and data rates. 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). The outer diameter is 5.7mm (0.2 in).
