Description

StarTech NLYL-6F-CAT6A-PATCH 6ft Yellow CAT6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLYL-6F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-foot, yellow CAT6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for indoor installations where fire safety is a concern, such as in data centers, offices, or public spaces. This cable ensures robust connectivity for network devices, including surveillance cameras, access control panels, and network switches, supporting up to 10 Gbps data rates.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a performance. It supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), making it ideal for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones without needing separate power adapters. It is compatible with any standard RJ45 Ethernet port on network switches, routers, servers, and end devices requiring a shielded Ethernet connection.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and can be stored between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). It supports up to 85% non-condensing relative humidity. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, while the aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbps.
