Description

StarTech NLBK-25F-CAT6A-PATCH 25ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-25F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 25-foot, black, Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network connections and Power over Ethernet (PoE++) applications. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical, such as in commercial buildings, data centers, or public spaces. This cable ensures reliable data transmission for surveillance systems, network switches, and other IP devices requiring robust connectivity.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 500 MHz, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications like 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and demanding network infrastructure. The RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with standard networking equipment, including switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. It is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), supporting power-hungry devices without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 27 AWG stranded copper conductor construction, offering flexibility for installation in conduits or tight spaces. The LSZH jacket material reduces the risk of toxic fumes and smoke in case of fire, adhering to safety standards. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable OD is 0.2 inches (5.7 mm), and its dimensions are 0.5 x 0.5 inches (1.2 x 1.4 cm) with a weight of 10 oz (282 g).
