Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLPL-50F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 50-foot, purple Cat6a Ethernet patch cable engineered for high-performance network deployments. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering demanding network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and network switches. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent cable damage during installation and removal, while the S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 27 AWG stranded copper conductors and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures signal integrity and safety in commercial environments.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, but is specifically designed to meet the 500 MHz bandwidth requirements for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 network device, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and surveillance equipment requiring high-speed data transfer and PoE++ power, such as StarTech.com's own line of PoE-powered network devices and IP cameras.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless boots to protect the RJ45 connector tabs during installation and removal, simplifying network maintenance. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire, making it suitable for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
