Description

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

Overview

This 6-foot red Cat6a Ethernet cable provides a reliable connection for high-bandwidth network devices, including IP cameras and network switches. Its 27 AWG stranded copper conductors and S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction ensure signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz. The snagless RJ45 connectors prevent cable damage during installation and removal, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket minimizes hazardous emissions in case of fire, making it suitable for plenum spaces or environments where safety is critical. The cable also supports up to 100W of PoE++ power, simplifying deployment by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve 10 Gbps speeds. It is suitable for connecting any network device with an RJ45 port, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and servers. Specifically, it is ideal for powering and connecting high-bandwidth surveillance devices that require 100W PoE++ from compatible switches or injectors.

Installation Notes

The cable features gold-plated RJ45 connectors for optimal conductivity. The LSZH jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces where fire safety codes restrict the use of standard PVC jackets. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
