Description

StarTech NLBK-50F-CAT6A-PATCH 50ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-50F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 50-foot, black Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its construction supports up to 10 Gbps data rates and 100W PoE++, making it suitable for demanding network environments such as surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity is critical. The cable's stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility for easier routing in tight spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, workstations, and servers. It supports all common networking standards up to Cat6a, ensuring interoperability with 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It is also fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 infrastructure, though performance will be limited by the lower category standard.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 27 AWG wire gauge and a 0.2-inch outer diameter, offering a balance between flexibility and durability. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor installation environments. The stranded copper conductors are designed for flexibility, reducing strain on termination points in fixed installations. The gold-plated connectors provide reliable signal integrity.
