Description

StarTech NLOR-5F-CAT6A-PATCH 5ft Orange Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot StarTech NLOR-5F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for network devices. It's designed for environments requiring robust data transfer and power delivery, such as connecting IP cameras, access control panels, or network-attached storage to your network infrastructure. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent damage during installation and removal, while the 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability. Its orange color aids in visual identification within complex cable runs.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, making it suitable for high-bandwidth applications including 4K video streaming, large file transfers, and demanding surveillance systems. Crucially, it is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), allowing it to power high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without needing a separate power injector or power source at the device location. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The cable features S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with an aluminum-mylar foil shield and braid, plus a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. The LSZH rating is critical for installations in public spaces or commercial buildings where fire safety regulations mandate low-smoke and non-toxic cable materials in the event of a fire. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor environments. The cable jacket diameter is 5.7 mm (0.2 in).
