StarTech C6ASPAT12BL 12ft Shielded Cat6a Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech C6ASPAT12BL is a 12-foot shielded Category 6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its construction minimizes noise and interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments where data integrity is critical, such as surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations. The CMG rating allows for installation in walls and above ceilings where fire safety codes require it.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with all networking devices utilizing RJ-45 connectors, including network switches, routers, servers, IP cameras, and workstations. It supports 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet speeds and is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 installations, though it will perform to Cat6a standards when connected to compatible Cat6a equipment. It supports up to 100W of PoE power, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points.
Installation Notes
The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and a PVC jacket. It is rated for operating temperatures between -20°C and 80°C ( -4°F to 176°F). The 26 AWG wire gauge and 0.2-inch (6.3 mm) outer diameter provide a balance of flexibility and durability for installation in conduits or cable trays. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding, combined with the CMG fire rating, ensures performance and safety in commercial installations.
