Description

StarTech NLBK-3F-CAT6A-PATCH 3ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 3-foot StarTech NLBK-3F-CAT6A-PATCH cable is designed for high-speed network deployments where cable integrity and safety are paramount. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material minimizes toxic fumes and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety regulations, such as public transit, schools, and healthcare facilities. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for frequent handling, while the 500MHz bandwidth supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring separate power injectors. The RJ-45 connectors are 50-micron gold-plated for reliable signal transmission.

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 up to 85% relative humidity (non-condensing).
