Description

StarTech NLBK-4F-CAT6A-PATCH 4ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-4F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 4-foot, black, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments where safety and performance are critical. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz and is rated for 100W PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering demanding network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without requiring a separate power supply. The LSZH jacket material minimizes smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, a key consideration for plenum spaces or environments with strict safety regulations. This cable is ETL Verified for assured performance.

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 IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, servers, and workstations. The RJ-45 connectors ensure broad compatibility with standard networking equipment. Its 100W PoE++ support makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices from compliant PoE switches or injectors.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, simplifying installation in tight spaces. The 27 AWG wire gauge and 0.2-inch (5.7 mm) outer diameter provide a balance between durability and manageability. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable data transmission. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
