Description

StarTech NLRD-25F-CAT6A-PATCH 25ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 25-foot, red Cat6a Ethernet cable is engineered for high-bandwidth, high-power network applications. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and delivers up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it suitable for powering demanding devices like high-resolution IP cameras or wireless access points. The snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, critical for enclosed spaces or sensitive environments. The NLRD-25F-CAT6A-PATCH is ideal for connecting network devices in data centers, enterprise networks, or surveillance systems where reliable, high-speed data and power delivery is essential.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a Cat6a Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, servers, and network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It fully supports devices powered by PoE++ (802.3bt) up to 100W, such as high-performance wireless access points (e.g., Wi-Fi 6E), PTZ IP cameras, and other high-power PoE endpoints. The RJ45 connectors ensure interoperability with standard network ports.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is LSZH rated, meaning it emits low smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), with storage temperatures from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, while the gold-plated connectors ensure reliable signal integrity. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 clip during insertion and removal.
