Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLRD-50F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 50-foot, red Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network deployments where bandwidth and power delivery are critical. Its snagless RJ45 connectors and 27AWG construction ensure reliable data transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. This cable is specifically suited for environments requiring robust connectivity, such as powering PoE-enabled surveillance cameras or connecting high-speed network devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports devices requiring 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps network speeds. Crucially, it is rated for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or network switches that draw significant power. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety compliance in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire codes.

Installation Notes

The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, critical for maintaining signal integrity over its 50-foot length, especially in industrial or high-density network environments. The snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring the integrity of the RJ45 connection. Ensure the cable is routed away from high-power electrical conduits where possible to maximize its EMI protection.
