Description

StarTech NLBK-8F-CAT6A-PATCH 8ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable

Overview

This 8-foot, black StarTech NLBK-8F-CAT6A-PATCH Cat6a Ethernet cable is engineered for high-bandwidth, low-latency network connections. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety and reduced smoke emission are critical, such as in data centers, public buildings, or industrial environments. The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500MHz, ensuring robust performance for surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and high-speed data transfer.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a Cat6a Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: StarTech network switches, IP cameras, NVRs, and other surveillance equipment. It supports PoE++ (802.3bt) up to 100W, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or access control panels directly over the network cable without the need for separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and ease of installation, with 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F), and the storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The cable jacket material is Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH).
