Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-5F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 5-foot, white, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated Cat6a Ethernet patch cable. It's designed for reliable data transmission in environments where fire safety is critical, such as public buildings, data centers, and commercial installations. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz and is rated for up to 100W of PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring a separate power supply.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including but not limited to: StarTech network-attached storage (NAS) devices, network switches, routers, IP cameras, and servers. It meets the Cat6a standard, ensuring compatibility with 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps Ethernet networks. The LSZH jacket is specifically recommended for installations in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire code regulations.

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. This makes it a safer choice for indoor installations, particularly in plenum-rated ceiling spaces. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is 27 AWG stranded copper, offering flexibility for routing in tight spaces.
