Description

StarTech C6ASPAT2AQ Shielded CAT6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT2AQ is a 2-foot shielded CAT6a Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Its CMG fire rating makes it suitable for use in walls and between floors, ensuring data integrity for surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and high-speed network infrastructure. The C6ASPAT2AQ ensures your network devices receive a clean signal, critical for uninterrupted video streams and data transfers.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device featuring an RJ-45 port, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and servers. It supports all CAT6a network speeds up to 10 Gbps and is backward compatible with CAT6 and CAT5e networks. The shielded construction is particularly beneficial when deploying near power cables or in industrial settings where interference is common.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, with a 26 AWG wire gauge. The aluminum-polyester foil shield and PVC jacket provide durability and protection against EMI/RFI. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity tolerance of 15% to 65%. It supports up to 100W of PoE power, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points.
