Description

StarTech NLYL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH 6-Inch Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 6-inch yellow Cat6a patch cable, model NLYL-6IN-CAT6A-PATCH, is engineered for high-speed data transmission and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery in demanding network environments. Its short length minimizes cable clutter in dense rack deployments, while the snagless design simplifies installation and removal. The S/FTP (Screened/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), ensuring signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Compatibility

Designed for universal compatibility with standard RJ45 connectors, this cable supports all network devices requiring Cat6a performance, including 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. It is rated for up to 100W of PoE power delivery, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without requiring separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material reduces the risk of hazardous smoke and corrosive byproducts in case of fire, making it compliant with building codes for plenum spaces or areas with strict safety regulations. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
