Description

StarTech NLPN-6F-CAT6A-PATCH 6ft Pink Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 6-foot pink Cat6a Ethernet cable, model NLPN-6F-CAT6A-PATCH, is engineered for high-performance network connections in environments requiring clear cable identification and robust data transmission. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, while the S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensures signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material provides enhanced safety in plenum spaces or areas with strict fire codes, making it suitable for commercial installations, data centers, and enterprise networks.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It supports TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with standard network equipment including switches, routers, servers, and IP cameras. It is rated for up to 100W of PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without requiring separate power injectors. The 10 Gbps speed rating is essential for high-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers, and network-attached storage (NAS).

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity. Its 0.2-inch outer diameter and 27 AWG wire gauge offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The 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). Humidity tolerance is 0% to 85% RH.
