StarTech NLAQ-5F-CAT6A-PATCH 5ft Cat6a Patch Cable - Aqua LSZH
Overview
The StarTech NLAQ-5F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 5-foot aqua-colored, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. It's designed for network deployments where fire safety and high-speed data transmission are critical, such as in plenum spaces or environments with strict building codes. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz and is rated for 100W PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power source.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat6a performance. This includes, but is not limited to, 10GbE network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is also backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, though performance will be limited to the lower standard. Its 100W PoE++ rating ensures compatibility with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Power over Ethernet devices.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, a critical safety feature for indoor installations, especially in plenum air spaces. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable signal integrity. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
