Description

StarTech NLAQ-3F-CAT6A-PATCH 3ft Cat6a Aqua LSZH Patch Cable

Overview

This 3-foot StarTech NLAQ-3F-CAT6A-PATCH Aqua Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for network devices in environments where fire safety and air quality are critical. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding data center, enterprise, or public space deployments where standard PVC jackets are not permitted. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility for easy routing in tight spaces, while the LSZH jacket minimizes the emission of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically designed to meet the stringent requirements for 10GbE connections. It is compatible with any network device utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including IP cameras, network switches, servers, workstations, and NVRs. Its 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) support means it can safely carry power to compatible devices, eliminating the need for separate power supplies in many installations.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). The LSZH jacket material is designed to reduce smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, a critical consideration for installations in public buildings or sensitive areas. The 27 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing in conduits or behind panels.
