Description

StarTech NLGN-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6in Green Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLGN-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch, snagless Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and robust power delivery. Its short length and flexible construction make it ideal for connecting devices in tight spaces, such as server racks, network closets, or behind workstations, minimizing cable clutter. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is rated for 100W PoE++ (802.3bt), ensuring reliable power and data for demanding network equipment like IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP phones.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a infrastructure to achieve its full 500 MHz bandwidth and 10 Gbps data transfer rate. It is suitable for connecting any standard RJ45-equipped network devices, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and PoE-powered devices. The snagless boot design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure connection.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rated, making it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations require reduced smoke and halogen emissions. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility and durability for frequent handling or tight bends, while the S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with aluminum-mylar foil and braid shielding protects against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, crucial for maintaining signal integrity at 10 Gbps. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
