Description

StarTech NLYL-5F-CAT6A-PATCH 5ft Yellow Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 5-foot yellow Cat6a Ethernet cable is engineered for high-speed data transmission and robust power delivery, specifically designed for network infrastructure where reliability and performance are critical. Its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and up to 100W of PoE++ power, making it suitable for demanding applications such as powering high-bandwidth surveillance cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points without requiring separate power injectors. The snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, ensuring a secure and stable connection for your network devices. The NLYL-5F-CAT6A-PATCH is ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and advanced surveillance systems requiring maximum throughput and power.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: IP cameras supporting 10Gbps data rates and PoE++, network switches with 10Gbps ports and PoE++ (802.3bt) capabilities, network attached storage (NAS) devices, and high-performance workstations. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standard, ensuring broad interoperability with standard networking equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) rated, suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, as it produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when exposed to fire. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable is designed for standard Ethernet installations; ensure connectors are securely seated to achieve optimal performance and power delivery.
