Description

StarTech NLGR-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6-Inch Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLGR-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed, high-power network deployments. Its short length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack environments, while its construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and up to 100W of PoE++ power. The snagless connectors prevent accidental disconnections during installation or maintenance, making it ideal for connecting network devices like IP cameras, access points, or servers in tight spaces.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all networking equipment requiring Cat6a or lower (Cat6, Cat5e) Ethernet connections, including but not limited to: StarTech network switches, IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hikvision, and Hanwha, wireless access points from Ubiquiti and Aruba, and servers or workstations with Gigabit or 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports. It supports TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated, suitable for installations where fire safety regulations require minimal smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and storage temperature ranges from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability.
