Description

StarTech C6ASPAT15BK 15ft Shielded CAT6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT15BK is a 15-foot shielded CAT6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in environments prone to noise and interference. Its construction supports up to 500 MHz bandwidth, making it suitable for high-demand network applications, including surveillance systems, data centers, and enterprise networks where signal integrity is critical. The cable's 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and aluminum-polyester foil shielding minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring data accuracy and performance. This cable also supports IEEE 802.3bt for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installations by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is optimized for CAT6a performance. It is suitable for connecting any network-enabled device with an RJ45 port, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It is compliant with IEEE 802.3bt standards, ensuring compatibility with devices requiring up to 100W of PoE power, such as high-power wireless access points or PTZ cameras.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CMG-rated PVC jacket for in-wall installation and fire safety compliance. Its operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity tolerance of 15% to 65%. The 26 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for easier routing in conduits or cable trays. The ETL verification ensures it meets performance standards for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 100 meters (though this specific cable is 15 feet).
