StarTech C6ASPAT12BK Shielded CAT6a Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6ASPAT12BK is a 12-foot shielded CAT6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its construction minimizes noise and interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments, including surveillance systems that require stable data transmission for high-resolution video feeds. This cable supports up to 100W of PoE power, ensuring compatibility with powered network devices without requiring separate power supplies.
Compatibility
This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks but is engineered for the higher bandwidth requirements of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T). It supports IEEE 802.3bt for up to 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE++), making it ideal for powering devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. It meets ANSI/TIA-568-B.2-10 and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards for network cabling infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is constructed from PVC, rated CMG for vertical cable runs in building risers. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, while the aluminum-polyester foil shield and 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide robust protection against EMI/RFI. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with humidity tolerance between 15% and 65% (non-condensing).
