Description

StarTech C6ASPAT15AQ 15ft Cat6a CMG Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT15AQ is a 15-foot, aqua-colored Cat6a Ethernet cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz. Its CMG rating makes it suitable for in-wall installations where fire safety is a concern. This cable utilizes stranded copper conductors for flexibility, making it ideal for connections within network racks or between equipment where frequent movement or tight bends are encountered. The C6ASPAT15AQ ensures reliable data transmission for surveillance systems, network switches, and other IP-based devices.

Compatibility

This Cat6a cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks but is optimized for Cat6a performance. It connects standard RJ-45 ports found on most network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and servers. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly through the Ethernet cable, provided the connected switch or injector supports the necessary PoE standard (e.g., 802.3bt Type 3 or Type 4).

Installation Notes

The cable features a 0.2-inch Outer Diameter (OD) and is constructed with a PVC jacket, rated CMG for vertical cable runs. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C ( -4°F to 176°F), with a humidity range of 15% to 65% RH (non-condensing). The stranded 26 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility but are not recommended for long-distance runs where solid core cable might offer better signal integrity over extreme distances. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding helps mitigate EMI/RFI interference.
