Description

StarTech NLAQ-6F-CAT6A-PATCH 6ft Cat6a Patch Cable - Aqua

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-6F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-foot aqua-colored Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, such as in public spaces, data centers, or critical infrastructure environments. This cable ensures reliable connectivity for network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, and switches, supporting up to 10Gbps speeds.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters (328 feet) and operates at frequencies up to 500MHz. The RJ-45 connectors are compatible with standard network ports found on most IP cameras, switches, routers, and servers. It also supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power adapters.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which produces minimal smoke and no toxic corrosive gases when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a robust connection and prevent corrosion. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable OD is 0.2 inches (5.7 mm).
