Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-20F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 20-foot, white, Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz and is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring it can power demanding network devices like IP cameras or access points without requiring a separate power supply. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure. It is designed to connect network devices such as IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is suitable for use with any standard RJ-45 network port and supports 100W PoE++ power delivery, making it compatible with devices that draw up to this power level.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and can be stored between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). It requires a humidity level between 0% and 85% RH. The 27 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing, while the 5.7 mm OD (0.2 in) jacket diameter ensures it fits standard network ports and cable management systems. The LSZH jacket material minimizes the release of toxic fumes and corrosive materials in the event of a fire.
