Description

StarTech NLBK-5F-CAT6A-PATCH 5ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBK-5F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 5-foot, black, Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network deployments where safety and performance are critical. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes the release of toxic and corrosive fumes in the event of a fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety regulations, such as data centers, public buildings, and industrial facilities. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, ensuring robust data transmission for surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and high-performance computing.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, but its full 10GbE performance is realized when used with Cat6a-rated network devices and infrastructure. It is suitable for connecting network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and workstations. Ensure your network equipment ports are rated for Cat6a to achieve maximum throughput.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety but may be less flexible than standard PVC jackets in extreme cold. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks, which can degrade performance. Terminated with RJ45 connectors, it plugs directly into standard network ports.
