StarTech NLBL-9F-CAT6A-PATCH 9ft Cat6a LSZH Ethernet Cable - Blue
Overview
The StarTech NLBL-9F-CAT6A-PATCH is a 9-foot, blue Cat6a Ethernet cable designed for high-performance network connections. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket makes it suitable for environments where fire safety is critical, such as data centers, public buildings, and industrial facilities. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust data transfer for demanding applications like IP surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and high-speed data networks. The 27 AWG stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability, while the S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), crucial for maintaining signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.
Compatibility
This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e networks. It is designed to connect network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It supports PoE++ (802.3bt) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by 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 up to 85% relative humidity (non-condensing). The stranded copper conductors offer good flexibility for routing in conduits or tight spaces, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends that could exceed the minimum bend radius, which is typically 4 times the cable diameter for Cat6a.
