StarTech NLBL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6" Cat6a Patch Cable
Overview
The StarTech NLBL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch blue Ethernet patch cable designed for high-density network environments where space is at a premium. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for plenum spaces or installations requiring reduced fire-load. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust data transmission for surveillance systems, network switches, and other critical IT infrastructure. The short length minimizes cable clutter and signal degradation in tight racks or patch panel configurations.
Compatibility
This Cat6a patch cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It connects standard RJ-45 ports found on most network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers. The cable is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or access control panels directly over the network cable, provided the connected switch or injector supports this standard.
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. This makes it compliant with plenum space requirements in many building codes. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), suitable for standard indoor IT environments. The stranded copper conductors (27 AWG) offer flexibility for routing in confined spaces, though they are less suited for long-distance runs compared to solid conductors.
