Description

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

Overview

This 50-foot StarTech NLBL-50F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for demanding network environments. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and supporting up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), it's ideal for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones while simultaneously transmitting data. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure fit in network racks and wall plates. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material offers enhanced safety in environments where fire safety is critical.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is engineered to meet the stringent requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters (328 feet). It is suitable for connecting any network devices with RJ45 ports, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and PoE-enabled devices. The TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with standard networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features a 27 AWG stranded copper conductor construction, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) design, with aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 500 MHz and 10 Gbps speeds. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor installation environments. The cable OD is 0.2 inches (5.7 mm).
