Description

StarTech NLAQ-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6in Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLAQ-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch (0.5 ft) Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its short length and Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket make it ideal for installations in tight spaces, such as within server racks, network closets, or near sensitive equipment where cable management is critical and fire safety is a concern. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz and delivers up to 100W of PoE++ power, ensuring reliable connectivity for demanding network devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6a patch cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including:

  • Network switches and routers requiring 10GbE connectivity.
  • High-performance network cameras supporting 10GbE.
  • Servers and workstations needing high-bandwidth network connections.
  • PoE++ powered devices (PDs) such as wireless access points, PTZ cameras, and IoT gateways that draw up to 100W.
  • Systems requiring LSZH-rated cabling for fire safety compliance.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material, which emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when exposed to fire, making it suitable for public spaces and environments with strict safety regulations. The 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). The cable is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt Type 4), ensuring sufficient power delivery for high-demand devices without requiring separate power adapters.
