Description

StarTech NLBK-6F-CAT6A-PATCH 6ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 6-foot black StarTech NLBK-6F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a robust connection for high-bandwidth network devices, including IP cameras and network switches. Its Cat6a rating ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, making it suitable for demanding surveillance and data applications. The low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) jacket material reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire, a critical consideration for enclosed spaces or sensitive environments.

Compatibility

Designed for universal network compatibility, this cable supports devices utilizing RJ-45 connectors. It is fully compatible with 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet standards and supports up to 100W PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), making it ideal for powering high-demand network equipment like PTZ cameras or access control panels without requiring separate power supplies. It integrates seamlessly with existing network infrastructure, including switches, routers, and network video recorders (NVRs).

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded 27 AWG copper conductors for flexibility and ease of routing. Its construction includes Al-mylar foil shielding with a braided shield to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, ensuring signal integrity even in electrically noisy environments. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for most indoor installations. Storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
