Description

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

Overview

This 50-foot yellow StarTech NLYL-50F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for demanding network environments. Designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and capable of delivering up to 100W of power via PoE++, it's ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or industrial IoT sensors without requiring a separate power injector. The snagless RJ-45 connectors ensure easy installation and prevent cable damage during deployment.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve 10Gbps speeds up to 100 meters. It supports the 100W PoE++ standard (802.3bt Type 4), making it suitable for powering devices that draw significant power, such as advanced surveillance cameras with integrated illuminators or high-density Wi-Fi access points. The stranded 27 AWG copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for repeated bending, common in cable management systems.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor installation environments. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material minimizes the release of toxic fumes in case of fire, a critical safety feature for plenum spaces or densely populated areas. The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 clip, preventing accidental disconnections during installation or maintenance.
