Description

StarTech C6ASPAT3AQ 3ft CAT6a Shielded Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT3AQ is a 3-foot (0.9m) Category 6a shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance in environments prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). Its CMG rating makes it suitable for in-wall installations, and it supports up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensuring your network devices receive both data and power without signal degradation. This cable is essential for maintaining network integrity in data centers, server rooms, or any location with high-density cabling or nearby electrical equipment.

Compatibility

This CAT6a cable is backward compatible with 10/100/1000 Mbps networks and is suitable for connecting any RJ45-equipped devices, including network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, servers, and workstations. It is designed to meet the stringent requirements of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-T) up to 100 meters, though its 3-foot length is ideal for short, direct connections within racks or between nearby equipment.

Installation Notes

Featuring stranded 26 AWG copper conductors and an aluminum-polyester foil shield, this cable offers flexibility and robust protection against interference. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure a secure, corrosion-resistant connection. Operating and storage temperatures range from -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity range of 15% to 65%. The cable has an outer diameter of 6.3mm (0.2 inches).
