Description

StarTech NLGR-5F-CAT6A-PATCH Gray 5ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot gray Cat6a Ethernet cable, model NLGR-5F-CAT6a-PATCH, provides a robust connection for high-bandwidth network devices. It's designed for environments requiring reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE++), such as connecting IP cameras, wireless access points, or network switches. The snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in enclosed spaces. Its stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for easier routing in tight installations.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ45 Ethernet port and supporting Cat6a standards, including 10/100/1000 Mbps and 10 Gbps speeds. It is specifically rated for up to 100W of PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it suitable for high-power devices like advanced wireless access points, PTZ cameras, or VoIP phones that require more power than standard PoE or PoE+ can provide. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is LSZH rated, meaning it produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, which is critical for plenum spaces or areas with strict fire safety regulations. 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 features gold-plated connectors for optimal signal conductivity and corrosion resistance.
