Description

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

Overview

The StarTech NLWH-8F-CAT6A-PATCH is an 8-foot, white, Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable power delivery. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are stringent, such as in commercial buildings or data centers. This cable supports 10GbE speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring minimal signal degradation for demanding network applications, including surveillance systems requiring high bandwidth for multiple IP cameras.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a robust connection. It supports 100W PoE++ (802.3bt) power delivery, making it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or Wi-Fi access points directly over the Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for separate power supplies.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F) and can be stored between -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). It is designed for use in environments with 0% to 85% non-condensing relative humidity. The stranded 27 AWG copper conductors provide flexibility, while the 5.7 mm (0.2 in) outer diameter allows for easier routing in crowded cable management systems. The LSZH jacket material reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases when exposed to fire.
