Description

StarTech C6ASPAT20AQ 20ft Cat6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT20AQ is a 20-foot (6.1m) Category 6a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network deployments. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds up to 500 MHz, ensuring robust data transfer for demanding applications like surveillance systems, data centers, and high-performance workstations. The cable features a CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) fire rating, making it suitable for in-wall installations where safety codes are a concern. Its shielded construction provides critical protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), crucial for maintaining signal integrity in noisy environments.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a Cat6a or lower-rated Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: IP cameras, NVRs, managed switches, servers, workstations, and wireless access points. It is designed to meet the specifications for 10GBASE-T networks.

Installation Notes

The cable is constructed with 26 AWG stranded copper conductors and features an aluminum-polyester foil shield with a PVC jacket. It supports up to 100W of PoE (Power over Ethernet), allowing for simultaneous data transmission and power delivery to compatible devices without needing a separate power supply. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity range of 15% to 65% (non-condensing).
