Description

StarTech NLBK-7F-CAT6A-PATCH 7ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 7-foot StarTech NLBK-7F-CAT6A-PATCH cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for network devices. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety is a concern, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. The 27 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer robust signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is specifically designed to support the 500MHz frequency required for 10Gbps data rates. It is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including switches, routers, servers, workstations, and IP cameras. Its PoE++ support up to 100W makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points without needing separate power injectors.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is rated for 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) operating temperatures, suitable for most indoor environments. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for routing in tight spaces, but avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. The 5.7 mm outer diameter is standard for Cat6a, ensuring compatibility with most cable management systems.
