Description

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

Overview

This 20-foot blue StarTech NLBL-20F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for network devices. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring ample bandwidth for demanding applications like high-resolution surveillance streams or data-intensive network transfers.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a performance. It is suitable for connecting any network-enabled device with an RJ-45 port, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is also rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable without needing a separate power supply.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) during use and can be stored between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). It is designed for use in environments with up to 85% relative humidity (non-condensing). The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, while the LSZH jacket minimizes the release of toxic fumes and corrosive materials in the event of a fire.
