Description

StarTech NLBL-8F-CAT6A-PATCH 8ft Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech NLBL-8F-CAT6A-PATCH is an 8-foot, blue Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network deployments where performance and safety are critical. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installation in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety regulations are stringent, minimizing toxic fumes and smoke in the event of a fire. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust data transmission for demanding applications like video surveillance, data centers, and high-performance computing environments.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is suitable for connecting any network-enabled device to a switch, router, or patch panel, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), servers, workstations, and VoIP phones. It is compatible with all network equipment supporting 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet standards.

Installation Notes

The LSZH jacket offers a balance between flexibility and durability, allowing for easier routing in tight spaces. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to achieve optimal performance and maintain the cable's integrity. The 8-foot length is ideal for short-run connections between devices and wall plates or patch panels, minimizing cable clutter and signal degradation.
