Description

StarTech C6ASPAT2BK 2ft CAT6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT2BK is a 2-foot shielded Category 6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver robust 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its construction minimizes noise and interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments where data integrity is critical, such as connecting surveillance cameras, network switches, or workstations. The 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability, while the aluminum-polyester foil shield protects against EMI/RFI, crucial for maintaining signal quality over the cable's length. This cable is CMG rated for in-wall use, providing a safe and compliant installation option.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including but not limited to: 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, routers, network attached storage (NAS) devices, IP cameras, and workstations. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery, ensuring compatibility with high-power PoE devices without requiring separate power supplies. Its CAT6a rating ensures performance up to 500 MHz, meeting the requirements for 10GBASE-T networks.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering greater flexibility than solid core cables, which can be beneficial in tight installations. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, and it can operate in humidity levels from 15% to 65%. The CMG fire rating indicates it meets standards for use in building risers and plenums.
