Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLGN-6F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-foot, green Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-bandwidth, high-power network deployments. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering demanding devices like high-resolution IP cameras or wireless access points. The snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, while the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety in environments where fire safety is critical. This cable is engineered for reliable data transmission in commercial and industrial settings.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve its full 10 Gbps performance. It is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ45 Ethernet port, including managed and unmanaged switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and workstations. Specifically, it is ideal for connecting devices that require 100W PoE, such as high-performance wireless access points (e.g., Wi-Fi 6/6E), PTZ cameras, or industrial IoT sensors that draw significant power. It functions with any network equipment supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors (27 AWG) for flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces, unlike solid core cables. The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, with aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding, minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 500 MHz and 10 Gbps speeds. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tab, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying cable management. 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).
