Description

StarTech C6ASPAT5AQ Shielded Cat6a Ethernet Cable

Overview

The StarTech C6ASPAT5AQ is a 5-foot shielded Category 6a Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Its construction minimizes noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), making it suitable for demanding network environments where data integrity is critical. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and servers, ensuring maximum throughput and minimal signal degradation over short runs. The CMG rating allows for installation in air handling spaces (plenum-rated). The C6ASPAT5AQ ensures your network infrastructure performs at its peak.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with all networking equipment utilizing RJ-45 connectors and supporting 10/100/1000/10000 Mbps Ethernet speeds. It is suitable for use with any brand of network device, including but not limited to IP surveillance cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, servers, and workstations that require a Cat6a or higher rated connection.

Installation Notes

This cable features a 26 AWG stranded copper conductor construction for flexibility and durability. The aluminum-polyester foil shielding, combined with a PVC jacket, provides robust protection against EMI/RFI. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 80°C, with a humidity range of 15% to 65%. The cable has an outer diameter of 0.2 inches (6.3 mm). It supports up to 100W of PoE power, making it suitable for powering compatible devices directly over the Ethernet cable.
