StarTech NLBK-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6" Cat6a Ethernet Cable - Black
Overview
The StarTech NLBK-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch, black Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections in environments where cable length is critical, such as within server racks or between network closets. Its short length minimizes signal degradation and clutter, ensuring reliable data transmission for demanding applications. This cable supports 10Gbps speeds and is rated for 100W PoE++ power delivery, making it suitable for powering high-demand network devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, but to achieve its full 10Gbps performance, it must be connected to Cat6a-rated network infrastructure, including switches, patch panels, and network interface cards. It is suitable for use with any network device requiring an RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers. The 100W PoE++ rating ensures compatibility with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 devices.
Installation Notes
The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which is crucial for installations in plenum spaces or public buildings where fire safety regulations are strict. The LSZH material emits less toxic smoke when exposed to fire compared to standard PVC jackets. Operating temperature is limited to 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature should be kept between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling within tight spaces.
