Description

StarTech C6ASPAT1AQ CAT6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT1AQ is a 1-foot CAT6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Its shielded construction and 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure signal integrity for critical network connections, such as linking network-attached storage (NAS) devices, connecting IP cameras to network switches, or extending network reach in industrial settings. The short 1-foot length minimizes signal degradation and cable clutter in dense equipment racks.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with CAT5e and CAT6 networks but is specifically engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters. It supports ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards, ensuring interoperability with network devices from all major manufacturers, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and servers that utilize RJ-45 connectors. It is ETL Verified for performance and safety.

Installation Notes

The cable features a PVC jacket and an aluminum-polyester foil shield to protect against EMI/RFI. It is CMG rated for use in wall cavities and between floors, meeting fire safety requirements for commercial installations. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, and it supports PoE (Power over Ethernet) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering network devices directly through the Ethernet cable without requiring a separate power adapter.
