StarTech NLPL-5F-CAT6A-PATCH 5ft Purple Cat6a Ethernet Cable
Overview
This 5-foot purple StarTech NLPL-5F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a patch cable provides a reliable connection for high-speed networking and power delivery. Its construction supports 10 Gbps data transfer rates and up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it suitable for demanding network devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in environments where fire safety is critical, such as commercial buildings and data centers. The snagless design prevents connector damage during installation.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a Cat6a Ethernet connection, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It supports TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks, though performance will be limited to the lower standard. It is designed to deliver full 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) power, suitable for high-power devices. Verified for use with StarTech's own line of network-attached storage (NAS) devices and surveillance equipment.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded 27 AWG copper conductors for flexibility and ease of routing. The S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding, consisting of an Aluminum-Mylar foil with braid, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbps. 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). Humidity should be kept between 0% and 85% RH.
