Description

StarTech NLPL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6" Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLPL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch, purple Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-density network environments where precise cable management is critical. Its short length minimizes clutter in server racks and network closets, while the snagless connectors prevent damage during installation and removal. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is rated to deliver up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering demanding network devices like IP cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power supplies.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks, ensuring flexibility in existing infrastructure. It is designed for use with any standard RJ45 network port found on routers, switches, servers, patch panels, and network-enabled devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones, and wireless access points. The 100W PoE capability is compatible with IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

Installation Notes

The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tabs, preventing accidental disconnections and simplifying installation in tight spaces. The S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction with 27AWG conductors ensures signal integrity and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), crucial for maintaining 10Gbps performance over its short length. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material is suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, as it emits less toxic smoke when exposed to heat.
