Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLRD-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH is a 6-inch, red Cat6a Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed data transfer and Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications. Its short length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter, making it ideal for connecting network devices in close proximity, such as servers within a rack, or connecting a camera to a nearby PoE switch. The cable's construction supports up to 10 Gbps speeds and 100W PoE++ power delivery.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including network switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It supports TIA/EIA-T568B wiring standards, ensuring interoperability with most network infrastructure. Its Cat6a rating guarantees performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters, though its short 6-inch length is optimized for short-run applications.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors (27 AWG) for flexibility and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket, 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 is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The connector plating is gold for enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance.
