Description

StarTech NLBK-2F-CAT6A-PATCH 2ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-2F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 2-foot black Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network connections in demanding environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are critical, such as in commercial buildings, data centers, and public spaces. This cable ensures reliable data transmission for surveillance systems, network switches, and other IP-based devices requiring robust performance. The NLBK-2F-CAT6A-PATCH supports 10Gbps speeds and up to 500MHz frequency range, ensuring it won't be a bottleneck in your network infrastructure.

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 device with an RJ-45 port, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and servers. Its 100W PoE++ support makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power adapters.

Installation Notes

The cable features 27 AWG stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, ensuring a stable connection. The LSZH jacket minimizes the release of toxic and corrosive gases in case of fire, a critical consideration for safety compliance. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
