Description

StarTech NLAQ-30F-CAT6A-PATCH 30ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-30F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 30-foot, aqua-colored, Category 6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable power delivery in demanding environments. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are critical, such as in public spaces, data centers, or commercial buildings. This cable ensures robust connectivity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and supports up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without needing separate power injectors.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a infrastructure to achieve 10Gbps speeds. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as switches, routers, servers, workstations, and surveillance cameras that require high bandwidth and stable power. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability, while the S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity in environments with multiple network cables or power sources. It supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), ensuring compatibility with devices requiring higher power budgets.

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 is designed for use in environments with 0% to 85% non-condensing relative humidity. The 50-micro gold-plated connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The stranded copper conductor construction offers better flexibility compared to solid core cables, simplifying routing in tight spaces, though it is generally recommended for shorter runs and patch applications rather than fixed-line installations where solid core is preferred for maximum signal integrity over long distances.
